i have a cx600m and i want to run two r9 270s on it a bit later on so i was wondering if is enough or will i have to upgrade.
cpu
hdd and ssd
fan
motherboard
r9 270 is 150watt so 300 watt + mobo hdd fans 75 +cpu 80-125watt= 445 - 500 watt. cx600 is 480watt on 12v rail 40A so no probably not.
why do you wan't 2 270? if you plan the second a month later it's better to wait and buy 280x or a 290. dual gpu is not really nice with latancy problems and really big problems for amd cards. if you do it later i recommend selling your gpu and buy a new one.
cpu:i5 4430 (it was on sale shhhhh)
hdd:some samsung hdd-ssd combo
fan:3 120mm. 2 80mm stock zalman z11 side panel fans
motherboard: h81m-plus (i know it dosnt have two pci slots im gonna get another one soon)
"so probably not" :(
another wat? if it doesn't have 2 pci-e slots you can't run crossfire...
don't look for total wattage. look at the 12V rail and the A. get enough A so you don't blow your psu and get enough wattage on the 12v rail so your hardware can run at full speed and doesn't randomly shut down. also lok for psu with a single 12V rail or atleast a strong one.
i said im getting another one......
thanks. any recommendations?

it got the connectors you need, 630 watt 12v rail and 53A so this should work. in my country (Netherlands) you get 5 year warranty.
thanks ill take that into consideration
