Hey!

I recently made an account here to ask a question I have been wondering for quite a while now.

I'm wondering what GPU would be best for my monitor/PSU, as well as it being "future proof". At the moment, my PC is offline since I RMA'd my GTX 550 ti; got lost in the post so I'm thinking of getting a new card.

The cards I've been eyeing are the
GTX 770 (This is the one I'll probably end up getting, but I'm still sceptical about my PSU for this card)
GTX 780
and GTX 680

My current specs are
i5 2400 @ 3.4GHz
4GB DDR3 RAM
Gigabyte GA-H61MA-D2V Motherboard
1680x1050 monitor res

My PSU is a Xigmatek 600w (Its +12 is a dual rail each at 22A, so I'm guessing you're going to have to add them up which adds up to 44A)

Hopefully you can help!
:)

Out of the cards you are looking at, and if you have a budget, definitely get the 770. If money is not an issue though, why got go for the 780? They actually just came out with the 4gb edition a couple days ago.

Would my PSU be suitable for the 770/780?

The GTX 770 is a 200 watt part.
If you have an i5 figure it's probably 100 watts, and another 100 watts for your ram, board and other drives
So your will have a max draw of about 400 watts. You have 600watts which gives you buffer room, so you should be good.

I do not know this as a fact though, so hopefully someone else can also help you out here.

Re-checked my PSU, 48 Amps instead of the 44 I guessed. Would the 770 be able to run the current high-end games/upcoming ones at 60fps on my monitor res?
