Hi guys and girls -
Just last week my radeon 6870 hd packed up resulting in overheating and dropped framerates. It's lasted over 2 years and was slowly becoming less and less capable of running newer games as it is, so I'm wanting to upgrade...
Currently, I'm only running a 500W PSU; the graphics cards i've been looking at are the GTX 770 and the R9 280X
I'm thinking that I'll need to upgrade my PSU aswell, full modular 650W maybe?
I'm running an i5 2500k at factory clock speed with 8gb of 1600mhz vengeance ram.
Do you think the 650W PSU and GTX 770 would be a better choice?
Feel free to give any opinions on the matter, help is appreciated Thanks!
