[thormunz]

ok well as you can see the title i want to build on and im using this guide
http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/geforce-gtx-750-ti-mini-itx-pc-build-guide

and pretty much i wanted to change the graphics card for a

EVGA 02G-P4-3753-KR GeForce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked

and im changing the casing to this

idk if thats a good idea and keep everything the same but now i realise theres no psu so what now?

R9 270 needs a 450W power supply. So the Antec 520 is still OK.

The next step up is a R9 270x - $180. It needs a 500W vpsu, so the Antec is OK again.

Look at review eg -http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r9-270-benchmark-review,3769.html

I'd look hardest at one of the Sapphires for this.

funny after i posted the saphire one u posted as well X) let me check it out

 

[i7Baby]

Its OK if you can afford it.

 

[thormunz]

Its OK if you can afford it.

in your opinion would you go for the SAPPHIRE DUAL-X or the SAPPHIRE Vapor-X if not i can probably cough up a bit more and go for SAPPHIRE 100364TXSR

but to be honest i dont see a difference in specs or am i wrong?

 

[i7Baby]

They all have the same cooler. You can get 2gb or 4gb versions. The obly other difference is the factory set overclock that you can get your slef by using Afterburner anyway.

I like cool and quiet graphics cards. Then overclocking them myself to see what they'll do. The I put them back to cool and quiet again.

The 650 and 750 models are Tier Two A in http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html the same as the Antec HCG.

The choice is yours. I like Antec better.

There's a pretty significant difference between a HALE82 and a HALE82 V2 or HALE 82N

HALE82 is similar to a Seasonic S/M12 some Antec HCG/HCG-M inside, 5 year warranty, nice unit.

HALE82 V2 is made by Sirtec, only got a 3year warranty and has pretty lacklustre +12V capacity.

im sorry idk what you just said XD im sorry

That PSU tier list is ok as a guide, but it's hardly exhaustive and it doesn't take into account various factors like manufacturers changing the internals of the PSU (and the OEM) but retaining the same range/model.

The NZXT Hale 82V2 700W (the one you linked) is Tier 4 on that PSU list, and that seems pretty fair, it's not all that good.

The Hale82 V2 shouldn't be confused with the Hale82, which is much better. On that PSU list it's a Tier 2A, which makes sense as they are made by Seasonic and have similar internals to some of the Antec HCG models and the Seasonic S/M12 range (all of which are Tier 2A as well).

Use any resource you have available, but be careful about how you read it, as it's really easy to confuse models which are hugely different.

 

[i7Baby]

Yep - my bad. Found it. V2 made by Sirtec. plain hale 82 made by Seasonic.

So don't use the NZXT Hale 82 V2.

Use Seasonic 620, XFX 650 or Antec GCG 620M

For a pc with a R9 270x you need a 500W psu. eg

XFX 550 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013&cm_re=xfx_550-_-17-207-013-_-Product $70

or get that Antec (above) for $80

[i7Baby]

Either of the 270x will be OK http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r9-270-benchmark-review,3769-4.html The Toxic is a bit cooler and quieter.

Phantom 410 is a nice case. also look at -
