R9 280/X requires 30 Amps on the 12v rail & a 550W PSU minimum

GTX 280 requires 40 Amps on the 12v rail & a 550W PSU minimum

Sorry, never heard of that PSU brand before. The label says 2x 12V rails of 12A & 15A. But no idea what the combined rating is, as you can't just add the numbers together. Still, i'd doubt it at those low numbers anyway,

Wasn't sure if it was a typo, as GTX 280 is old. So covered both bases.

I do not own gtx280, but my friend offers me one for 30$. So I was interested.

By the way, I know the guy who ran 8800 gts 512 with this psu.
If not, can you suggest me a nice budget gpu that's not so 'power hungry'
