sell your psu to yield 4k or so

@OP; which tools will you be using for rendering purpose; this will help decide whether an Nvidia card will be better of an AMD card?

Is thr any reason to sell my existing psu. ??
The gpu looks impressive but can it be trusted over the existing ones as its a newcomer...?
And Where to buy it..?

First of change that PSU to Antec VP550P -4000 and add Asus R9 270X 2GB OC -16500 which gives 3 years warranty.OK. Sapphire only gives 2 years warranty.

It is psu.your psu is bad. it is not reliable. since you are opting for a good gpu, change the psu to something good like seasonic s12 ii 520. check the reviews of your psu and you will realize why.

if you can purchase online ,try mdcomputers,itdepot,primeabgb,smcintenational,flipkart(only if you can get a nice deal) etc.

you can ask in local shops too.
