I'm looking at getting a new graphics card as currently i get farely low FPS on games , and i would like to be able to run most (if not all) games i can on ultra.
I've done a lot of research and have decided to go for the GTX 770 2GB but i am not that great with computers, will this be bottlenecked at all and is this the right choice? My price range is up to around £350.
My Specs:
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67GHz
RAM: 14.0GB Triple-Channel DDR3 @ 534MHz (8-8-8-20)
Motherboard: Alienware 04VWF2
Graphics: 1792MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 (NVIDIA)
Any help would be greatly appreciated :D Thanks

I have a friend who would put this graphics card in for me, would this one definitely fit into my motherboard? And also i do not know how to overclock, where would i go about learning to do this? Thanks for the reply.

which case do you have? I'm pretty sure it will fit because the 260 is probably about the same size, also where did u get a 1.8gb gtx 260? (never heard of that)

About 3 or 4 years ago i bought the Alienware Aurora (cost a shit tonne, i know it wasn't the best idea), and i have only upgraded the RAM since I've had it. Thanks again :D

the name of the "program" is "take off the side of the case and look at the label" :ange: sorry don't mean to be a smart . . .

chances are its fine since the 770 ~165 watts @ stock, about the same as a 260. but if you start adding voltage to OC very much, that can rise up to ~200+ watts.

at stock for full system power:

a good 550 watt PSU can handle that.
