GTX 780 capable?

LittleYo10 · Nov 4, 2013

I have a 99% chance of getting a 780 FTW on christmas, and was wanted to know if this PSU supports it/is enough http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-LSP750-750-Watt-Power-Supply/dp/B000WJCZ84/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383601922&sr=8-1&keywords=Ultra+750w and if the FX 8320 OC will bottleneck, and also if the M5a97 R2.0 is good enough, and if its really worth getting pcie 3... Thanks in advance, also if the PSU is enough, give me a good cooling case for 60-70 dollars, THANKS! (really happy about the 780

)

Everything you list is fine PSU not the best but will handle it, currently you would have to change to Intel if you want PCIe 3. GTX780 will work fine in PCIe 2.

So can you give me a good PSU for 60-70 dollars or less that is great and future proof?

One more thing, is this case good enough http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Black-Edition-VL80001W2Z-Gaming/dp/B002Q2M8KK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383603172&sr=8-1&keywords=thermaltake+v3 and if not please give me a good one not above 50-60 dollars, thanks!

Yes for a budget case here is an Corsair with better interior http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-200r

Is this 850w PSU good since its cheaper http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817121069 or should I just go with the 750w with 80+ bronze?

Look at the warranty Kingwin 1 year, Corsair CX 3 years, the 3 I suggested all have 5 years. Guess which is most quality and expected to last longer?
Size is not everything a system with a single GTX 780 calls for 575watt PSU (not counting in quality PSU's which many lower would run it) http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm

Thanks. Should I get the FTW 780 or just standard ACX cooling? how many years will the 780 last on ultra? Thanks again.

High end cards end as midrange in 3-4years. I would base my decision which to get based on price, basically not interested in 1-3 extra fps which you typically get with an OC card.

I have the same case and it is a pretty solid case!

LittleYo10 · Nov 4, 2013

So do I really need to change my PSU or can I wait a few weeks/month or two and then upgrade the PSU? What if I overclock? Thanks.

It will run the card. It is just a concern to have an expensive piece of hardware relying on inferior quality PSU, just keep an eye on any signs of instability.
