yes, 2 GB R9-380 eats only 282W and need one 8-pin 

Could you link me to a power supply and a graphics card for around $200? if you can thanks!

Your PSU is terrible, i recommend spending some of your budget to get something like a 550 watt PSU and spend the rest on a GPU (or save up again and get a gtx 960 [4 gb vram])

 

only r9-380 cost 200$ 

it wont work with his PSU i think

Are there any cheaper graphics card?

I'm thinking I can get the PSU

What is a decent upgrade from a GT 620 to something.

 

Is it okay if you list me all the graphics cards I can get with the power supply

Take EVGA 550w PSU and like GTX 950 

which EVGA 550W? W1, G1, B1 and NEX are crap and not worth - G2/GS/GQ/B2/P2 are good

380 uses 10-20W more than a 960 - if 380 can't work then a 960 can't either

do you just spill our random numbers? it uses 80w more,not 10-20.

 

the gtx 960 fills his budget without the need of a new psu. if you want him to get a worse card+psu just for the sake of it,you are not good at helping people

the 380 is a 285 rebrand btw.if you dont know

 

in order to get the best performance,you want to spend all the money on the gpu.so let him get the best gpu that runs on his current psu without worries

R9 380 uses as much power as a 760 - look at the 2nd bench

Is it correct that I can buy a GTX 960 and use the same power supply?

Wait, so my bother board support PCI Express, which is PCI-E right?

Is my motherboard and psu compatible with a r9 270x or gtx 960?
