I am looking to upgrade my PC to the following specs to play Battelfield 4 and Games like that. My only concern is that the PSU will not have enough power to run the games on Ultra and possibly even overclock slightly

My Specs
CPU: Intel Core I5-3570
Ram: 8GB DDR3
GPU: XFX Radeon R9 270 (not x)
Mobo: ECS H61H2-M2
Hard Drives: 1.5TB 7500 RPM HDD and 64gb SSD
PSU: 450 Watt
1 DVD RW Drive

Couple questions/observations:

What make and model of psu do you have?

Are you intending to o/c the 270?

Is the cpu the k model?

Doubtful the 270 will run bf4 ultra - what resolution are you using and how much AA, etc do you want to use?
 


Well I am unsure on the PSU make but propbally a chinise crappy one.
I may O/C Depends again if the PSU can handle it.
And the CPU is not the K model.
BF4 can Play on Ultra but without AA

A few days ago they have a Antec EarthWatts 650 80Plus Platinum for $70 bucks. But that deal has expired.
