Sapphire Toxic R9 270x on 450 watt psu?

[SLKilner]

i have an amd FX-6100, 8gb ram, 2HDD and a 450 watt psu and i was wondering could i run a Sapphire Toxic R9 270x on the 450 watt psu. on the box it says recommended is 500 watt but can i run it with 50 watt less on my psu?

Depends on what PSU you have.

It needs 2 - 6 pin power connectors and 24 amps on the 12v rail.

Any decent PSU of 450W can handle the card. Vendors inflate the wattage to stay safe.

I wouldn't use that PSU , it's not a good one , and only has 1 PCIE power connection , you need 2.
