Hey there. I'm going to upgrade my gpu and my psu in the next couple of weeks to Gigabyte AMD Radeon R7 260X 2GB
and Corsair Builder Series VS650 650W. My cpu is fx-4100 that I'm gonna later upgrade to fx-6300 or fx-8320. Is the psu I chose capable of supporting these components without a problem or should I get something bigger? I am open to suggestions for the other components as well.
 
Solution
no that PSU is power saving one and will not be solid with high end configuration however with single gpu and a FX 8320 it will be fine but for dual you need something like Corshair CX 700M and above.

Give some light on your budget ? so maybe something better can be suggested.
But R7 260x will be good with an AMD build because you can get crossfirex support with that which you wont get in nvidia gpu. (i was going to suggest you a 650ti boost here)

Oh yeah. Budget is +/-200 euros for gpu+psu.
 


if thats your budget for PSU + GPU then you may wanna try this combination:
i had a refernce site so i found this:
R9 270 - for €158 : http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/355114/msi-r9-270-2gb-gaming.html
and
PSU: Corshair CX 750M : € 78,98 http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/322859/corsair-cx750m.html
taking total to around 230.
also if you have no future plan to crossfirex ( even after many years ) which u may not need you can lower that PSU to this one-
Corsair-cx500m for about € 50: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/322857/corsair-cx500m.html
which will settle you down in budget :)
