It'll work fine on your existing PSU.

Agreed minimum spec PSU is 500w for that card.

Hi,

Will this Mobo Asus M5A97 support sapphire r9 270x boost oc 2 gb gddr5? Please help.

 

[Someone Somewhere]

Yes.

 

[begnr19]

Yes.

Will this card deliver the best with the below hardware spec ? or should I consider any upgrade in processor. I am planning to game at ultra setting. Games like crysis 3, BF4.

You might want to upgrade to an FX6300 at some point, but it should be OK.

[Someone Somewhere]

The long PCIe slot closest to the CPU socket.

The long PCIe slot closest to the CPU socket.

Can I overclock both CPU and GPU with the PSU i have right now Antec VP550?

 

[Someone Somewhere]

Yup.

 

[begnr19]

Thank you !!!
will it take up the complete power it has..will it be too close if i do overclocking. Any problem if done ?

There's enough headroom in a 550W supply to decently OC it.
