Radeon R9 270 2GB with a 430w Power Supply

[justin5885]

I have an Athlon X4 750K which uses 100 watts, will it go over 430 watts if I use the 270x with it?

No, but whether or not it will run completely depends on whether or not the PSU you have is of decent quality and if it has the proper connectors to run.

430w is meaningless on it's own, need to know make and model

That system will barely get over 300w,but like the other guys said, make sure its a good quality one. But yes, 430w is enough.

It's a cx 430 80 plus bronze, corsair

It's not the best out there but should be goon enough.

It's not the worst PSU but it's still low quality, tier 4 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

It is a fine psu. Uses low quality chinese caps, low hold up time etc. But will work fine with his system. No need to get a new one until he decides to get a new system.

Yeah the 430 is marginally better than the rest of the CX range, I wouldn't buy one but should be ok in this situation
