[rinuraju141]

I have a doubt... My motherboard is ASUS B85M-K and Processor using is i5-4460 @ 3.20GHz. Also my RAM is 8gb DDR3. I just want to know that did my PC Supports ASUS Radeon R9 270X DirectCU II or Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R9 270X with Boost OC 2 GB 2 GB DDR5 Graphics Card??

Yea both of them would of worked fine.

Both will work fine as long as your power supply is sufficient to power the new GPU. What make/model PSU are you using?

It is i ball psy 255

If it is 255W then you can't add the 270X
the IBALL 255W is just a junk PSU i would suggest buying a new PSU then the GPU

Recommended PSU requirements for the R9-270x (From Sapphire):

500W (or greater) power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCI Express power connector recommended

600W (or greater) power supply with four 75W 6-pin PCI Express power connector recommended for AMD CrossFire technology in dual mode

Corsair VS550 550 Watt PSU or Gigabyte superb e620 genuine 600 watt smps 600w PSU,which will support Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R9 270X with Boost OC 2 GB 2 GB DDR5 Graphics Card

Either will work for a single 270x. I would recommend the Corsair over the Gigabyte, just on personal preference.
