I have spent a while searching for an answer to my query but havent been able to find thread which matches my system (below). Id be very grateful for someone's response - Im still learning.
I recently built my first PC:
CPU: i5 4440
MB: Asrock B85 mini ITX
Case: Silverstone SG-06 with 300w PSU
RAM: 8gb kingston
HD: 500gb WD
SSD: 120 samsung
Disappointingly I realise I should have gone for a high powered PSU to give me options with the GPU.
After research I was about to buy:
Sapphire Radeon HD7750 1GB Low Profile for $119 here in Australia.
However, I have looked at a power supply checker which says I should be able to use a cheaper and more powerful card:
MSI Radeon HD7770 Power Edition 1GB OC $99
The power supply checker recommends a PSU of 252W for my system with the 7770 (I have 300w).
Am I ok to go for the HD7770 - will it fit in my small form factor case / mobo?
Or is there another card, perhaps more powerful, which my system can handle in this price range. Card is for gaming, video editing, running two monitors.
Many thanks for any responses.
