Nvidia GTX650 Ti BOOST

Owen Desira · Aug 18, 2013

Hi, first post here...

So I'm thinking of upgrading my current computer. I'm thinking of upgrading the graphics card and CPU,get a 1920x1080 monitor (HD all the way!) and upgrade my hard disk.

Anyway, I was thinking of getting an Nvidia GTX650 Ti BOOST. First of all, is it a good graphics card to get with the current and future game-requirements?

Secondly, considering I get this graphics card, what CPU do I need not to bottleneck it. I was thinking of getting an Intel Core i5 3570... Is that enough? I have 8GB of memory, I'm guessing that's fine too. And I have a 650W power supply. Will that do?

Thanks in advance for your help and answers!

well first what brand 650w powersuply because that depends and get a core i5-3550p as you save money by losing intergrated graphics

650Ti boost is good, some game's might require reduced setting's at that res. CPU is also good. but you could get a 4th gen i5 like 4430 or 4670K if your overclocking.

PSU is also good but what brand is it from?

but i get the sense that he is looking to save money as a core i5 3550p is around $40 dollars cheaper then a 3570 and sacrficing minimal preformance

You'll find 50 threads today on 3570k (last generation 1155 socket) versus 4670k (current generation 1150 socket) .... 3570k overclocks better (6% on average), 4670k is 10% faster @ stock speeds.

650 Ti Boost is great card ... when it was released it made everything else between $125 and $200 irrelevant. And ya can SLI it for $310 w/ just a 650 watt PSU and it outperforms the much more expensive 680 and 7970 Ghz

OK, I might just go for 4th gen for some more money, so I'm going for the 4670 processor. Not thinking of using SLI atm, so if there's a better GPU within the price range of $180-$210 dollars, I'd be happy to know about it!

PSU-wise, I got the CoolerMaster GX Bronze 650W.

Hey guys, what if I went with the GTX 660, would the i5 4670 be enough? And the CoolerMaster GX Bronze 650 would still be good?

Thanks.

@Owen Desira GTX 660 also good,you should get better FPS. i wouldn't count on the PSU though, the wattage is enough and you should get plenty of amp's at the +12V rail, but CM PSU's are known to be shit, that is they are unreliable...

OK thanks! Re: PSU... Oh well, it's been working for three years, I'm hoping it will do a little more haha.
