hello, quick question. Im going to get Sapphire R9 280x later on, due to some research i did on sapphire website, it says that 750 Watt Power Supply is required. I'm using 620w vantec ion2 PSU. It's been 5 years to this March. So now i need to upgrade my PSU to 750w and above am i correct? or no? Help!

My current cpu may cause bottleneck? :/ then what do you propose? My old gpu is dead and currently using my friend's gtx670, borrow from him for awhile. Yeah its an old PSU, Vantec ion2. Been using it for almost 5 years without any problem. If i need to change a psu then i will get the Seasonic too later.

I'm using CM hyper 212+. Currently at stock clock. if overclock may minimise the bottleneck then i will get the gpu and psu this evening.

hello Minecrafter, sorry bothering you. I have one question. I just bought Sapphire R9 280x Vapor and Seasonic S12II 80+ Bronze 620W just now, but when reach home suddenly i felt like changing it to a Modular PSU, i didnt use the S12II yet, just open box and take a look. Is there any other brand for modular psu recommended other than the one you're using right now which is the M12II-520? Like Corsair or Antec? Thanks

oh sorry didnt see the upcoming title. haha alright, thank you for your suggestion. i hope viewnet will allow me to change it.
