    Hi All,
    Here is my computer spec, Can anyone tell me if I would be able to run a RX 480 8gb with a Corsair CX430?

    ASUS H81M-PLUS
    Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3 Kit
    Intel Core i5-4460
    WD Blue Desktop 1TB

    I currently have a GTX 950 and I reckon this would be a great upgrade, Im still only playing on a TV.

    Should be fine. The card uses 150-175w depending on which one you get. 200w max. I'd say the rest of your system uses about 100w max so that will put you in the sweet spot for efficiency with that PSU.

    You could go for the 1060 either if you want even lower power consumption.

    The 1060 never crossed my mind but seems like it would be a better buy. Lower power consumption and seems to be a tad better. Thanks Bloodbath

    might even be a bit easier to get your hands on, especially if going non reference model
