Is Gigabyte R9 270X 4GB videocard compatible with Motherboard Asus P8B75-M LX Plus? (and I have 500W PSU) P.s I'm just upgrading my videocard I currently have Gtx 650 and want to make sure that everything will be compatible when I get the new one

Hell no, no codegen. DO NOT BUY THOSE CHEAP SHIT EBAY PSU'S. they are terrible save some money and get a decent seasonic, xfx, antec or corsair unit to name a few.


I think that can be considered a "toys r us psu" lol. You may want to consider replacing that before you put a 270x in there and definitely replace it if you get a 290.
 


Wich one would you suggest? (600-700W?) not expencive ones please
 


How much can you spend? 550-650 is plenty but you really dont want to skimp on a power supply, its like the most important part in your pc, it holds the lives of all your parts in its hand and those cheap ones supply all your expensive parts with dirty un regulated power which can shorten the life of everything thats plugged into the power supply or outright kill them or even set your house on fire.
 


I'll try to get 600W one, but wich brand? Codegen?

 
I agree with badboyrog2, i personally have a Rosewill Capstone 750 watt gold and it works great, I would refer to the tiered power supply list on the components forum to fill in some of the gaps and get an idea of one that can it your needs. But all of the big trustworthy names were covered.
