I have a +12v / 22.0A 350w psu. If I get the rx470, coolermaster's max recommended wattage is 329w. If I get the 1050Ti, the recommended is 309w. Can my pc survive a RX, or should I get a TI instead? Thanks!

What are the rest of the specs?

 

I would suggest a new psu, pulling that much power on a cooler master psu might lead it to fail.

(Kudos to giving the most important spec first)

 

A 1050 Ti is rated for 75W, while the RX 470 is rated for 145W. So I would get the 1050 Ti to be safe since 145W can be reached easily and that's eating more than half of your 264W 12V budget.

I have a fx4300/ gpu, (that's the question) / 8gb ddr3/ ssd/ hdd/ CD-ROM/ 3 fans/ standard miscellaneous. There is a antec 450w recommended by hardwaresecrets.com on sale. Should I get that?

Antec makes a lot of power supplies, without knowing the exact model I cannot give a yes or no answer.

 

Here is the psu tier list that the community has generated.

I would recommend a tier 1-3 psu of at least 400-450w, anything lower would work, but they are not reliable, and are prone to failure, definitely try to avoid anything tier 6/7 though.
