Hello, im new so sorry if sth is wrong (and i don't speak english very well, sorry for that too).
My cfg is:

intel pentium g3220 @stock
asrcok h81m-dgs
1x4gb ddr3 1333mhz
hdd wd caviar blue 1tb
geforce gt240 1gb gddr3
seasonic ss-400es 80+ bronze 400w psu
thermaltake commander ms-i
1 optical drive (dvd) and 3 fans.

And i want to buy the Sapphire R7 260X 2Gb OC. Will the seasonic ss-400es 80+ bronze psu deal ok with it?
No problems?

Thanks.

Thanks, this says that the full consumption will be 354w. And i put extra things, for example 3 fans (i only have one) and 2 modules of ram (i have one), just to be sure.

System Type: 1 physical CPU
Motherboard: Desktop
CPU Socket: Socket LGA 1150
CPU: Intel Pentium G3220 3000 MHz Haswell-DT
CPU Utilization (TDP): 100% TDP

RAM: 2 Modules DDR3 SDRAM
Video Card 1: AMD Radeon R7 260X

Regular SATA: 1 HDD

DVD-RW/DVD+RW Drive: 1 Drive

USB: 1 Device

Fans
LED: 1 Fan 80mm; 3 Fans 120mm;

So, it will be ok? Mine is a 80+ bronze psu. But the cars also is the OC version. What do you think?
Thanks again!

If that site says 354 recommended then why not ;)
I would also recommend you the r7 265. Its a better card for like 20 more bucks

Yes but im form argentina and the prices are diferent, those $20 are a lot here, the hardware in general is expensive (because of our economy).

The diference between the gtx 750 (NON Ti) 1gb and the r7260x 2gb is big? Because the gtx750 nonti is cheaper, and i dont have enough $$ for the r7 now (i have to wait a bit if i choose that one).

Thanks! So i will go for the r7 260x. At first, when i bought the psu, was to get a 750ti later, but the price went high here. If i can afford it, i will go for the 750ti, but i don't know now. Is this one Zotac GTX 750 Ti 2 Gb.

Thanks again!
