Hoop wrote First of all, what power supply do you have? For all we know it could be an unbranded crappy PSU.


Its an ATX-500 if that means anything...

What PSU would you suggest then if it can't run?

Would that def fit in the mobo?

Yes, your mobo has PCI Express 2.0. PCI Express 3.0 is backwards compatible with PCI Express 2.0.

Also, I agree with JVI you should get another stick of 4gb RAM.



Thank you so much for all the help... 1 more question how can I tell if I have a 6pin + 6 power connector?


Look at your connectors and see if you have any connecters that look like this:

Don't run a 7870/270X on a 500W PSU, it will blow up!

The minimum wattage for a r9 270x is 500.

If he can afforded a much higher wattage PSU then go ahead.

You're gonna need a new PSU though.
You'll need at least 24A on 12v:
