Cx430 80 plus and r9 270x ?

[Wodny]

Hey will my cx 430 80 plus bronze be able to run a r9 270x from sapphire ?

some pc specs are :
Cpu - a10-5800k @ 3.8Ghz
Motherboard - Asrock fm2a85x
Ram - 2x 8gb Patriot Viper 18666mhz
HDD - Seagate 1tb 7200rpm

I am currently running a GTX 460 2gb golden sample from gainward

You should be able to run the R9-270 with your CX430. The R9-270x is limited to drawing 225W maximum (150W-175W are the reported draw) so, I wouldn't hesitate to run that personally
Edit: I realized the CX430 only has one 6+2 pin PCIe connector - the R9-270x should come with molex to PCI adapters and you'll need one adapter to run the card. The use of adapters is not ideal, I'll say you can use it temporarily until it can be upgraded to a PSU with an 8Pin PCIe and a 6 pin PCIe

Thanks for that I will be upgrading my psu about 1 month after i get the R9 but until then I will use my cx 430 thanks
