My Power Supply

[Exercitus Mors]

Will my psu handle the r9 270x? My psu reads 500w peak watts. Would that be enough, or should I upgrade.

What brand of psu do you have? Can you give us more info on your other parts? Btw i think good 500-550w psu will handle R9 270X.

Depends on the unit you have , make and model please.

That is not really good psu. You need 550w psu, something like corsair, seasonic or xfx.
