I have an old PSU currently running a GTX 560 and I'm curious as to how much of an upgrade to my current gpu I can get without changing the power supply. I've taken a picture of the side of it and all of the information necessary should be there. I was considering an r9 380, r9 280x or a used r9 290. I'm aware that the 280x and 290 are significantly more power hungry than the 380 but I want to make sure that this dinosaur can take any sort of upgrade in the firstplace. Thanks in advance

tbh mate i would get a better power supply from a trusted make like evga or corsair 

that one looks likes it could blow up any minute 

Thanks for the advice, I thought I'd have to change it but I was hoping for a miracle. Now all I need to do is find a decent PSU for a 280x or a 290. Cheers!

Get something like EVGA G2/GS series PSU or SuperFlower PSU.
