Hello guys! I'm looking forward to upgrading my GPU to a r9 290 from a r9 270x but i need help with the PSU. Here are my specs:

 

ASUS m4a87td mobo

AMD Phenom II x4 965BE  - 125 W

4GBx2 Corsair Vengeance 1600 (running 1333) RAM

SAMSUNG 840 PRO SSD 128GB

4 normal and 3 LED fans (120 & 140 mm)

GPU AMD R9 270X GIGABYTE WINDFORCE (the one with 3 fans)

PSU at this moment: Corsair CX430W

 

Now, i am aware that i cannot run a 290 with the CX430, hell, even the 270X upgrade i did 2 years ago was a stretch.

I think it has come the time to upgrade the PSU and put the 290 in there. But after hours of research and comparisons between PSUs i came up empty-handed.

So i would ask for a couple of things from you guys:

1. see what PSUs are available in my country (link below)

2. Choose wattage, brand, model, basically tell me "buy this one"

I really don't want to spend more than 150lv on the unit, but if it's a smokin' hot uber good deal i can spend more. Modular cables are a plus, though not required.

 

Here's a site with a list of PSUs available in my region (ordered in price asc, and price between 85lv and 200lv):

Моя грешка - моето е S12G - S12II също е добро, но не колкото S12G :D

Ако можеш да вземеш това (по-скъпо) то тук вече е 5 години гаранция и топ качество - http://www.pazaruvaj.com/zahranvawi-blokove-c3158/seasonic/s12g-650-ssr-650rt-p210537852/

Виж M12II EVO, че поне да е модулно.

The CX430 was definitely not a stretch for a 270X, lol, you'd never see over 250W needed under load.
