Hello, I was thinking upgrading from a sapphire HD 5770 to a sapphire R9 270x, but I had the doubt weather my system could handle it properly. Currently I'm running on:
-Asus M4A87TD motherboard
-AMD Phenom II x6 1090T CPU
-Sapphire HD 5770 Vapor-X graphic card
-CoolerMaster eXtreme power plus 460W PSU
- 8Gb DDR3 RAM
I'm aware that the R9 270x requires a 500W PSU (or at least that is the secure value the manufacturer gives), but will the other components handle the (hypothetical) new card? Should I upgrade other components in order to receive the new card?
All answers are welcome and sorry if I post this on the wrong section and any misspelling (I am not an English speaker).
