Hey guys, once again I am in need of your knowledge !!
I'm thinking of purchasing a R9 270x card but I'm in a dilemma; should I go for Asus or Msi?
p.s is a 550 psu enough for the above card?

Neither, go for this one:

Which PSU is it and what is the rest of your specs?

 

[BoyakADj]

msi z77 g45, 8gb ram, i5 3570k, 550 psu (thermaltake)

 

[barnsley]

Which model? It probably will do (even though it is a brand hated throughout this forum)

 

[BoyakADj]

its a bit old psu (like 6years old ,so I dont know) but so far it's handling my 5850

 

[barnsley]

Yeah as long as it is bronze rated (80+) or higher it should do the trick although I'd get a new one due to age/it being thermaltake.

yup I have to upgrade it too, but it needs money . Well christmas is coming so time for upgrades !! Now as for the for the sweet sapphire toxic card I found only 1 retailer in greece selling it at 260 eyro... while asus 270x is at 200 eyro. Is there such a big difference in these two?
