R9 270: Will a 450w psu be sufficient?

[TomTom98]

Hi everyone!

I am going to purchase an R9 270 Graphics Card, however I am unsure whether my 450w psu will be sufficient. I have looked up the power requirements and it does ask for a 450w minimum psu. I am still unsure though.

My specs:

CPU: AMD FX-6300 six-core processor
RAM: 8GB DDR3 RAM
GPU (That I'm going to purchase): XFX Radeon R9 270 Graphics Card
PSU: XFX 450w Core Edition 80+ Bronze Wired Power Supply
Motherboard: (Can't remember i'll have to check)

I'd rather not purchase a new psu as I am on bit of a budget.

Thanks in advance!

A quality 450W PSU can easily handle the build, and luckily your PSU is good quality wise. Go ahead with the purchase.

Many thanks!

Is there also room for some overclocking or is that pushing it?

Hey I've been looking towards buying R9 270 and i have Super Flower 450w Golden Green HX, 80Plus Gold PSU. Is that enough for R9 270 or should i go for example HD 7750 ? (I don't really want to upgrade my psu)
