Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX780 with AMD FX6100?

TaylorBristow · Dec 25, 2013

I have an AMD FX6100 processor and am thinking to upgrade my graphics card to an Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 and want to know whether these two parts will work together nicely. It may also be worth mentioning that I have a Gigabyte motherboard and a 750 Watt powersupply. Any help will be appreciated.

For now it will work fine and if U try to run high intensive tasks affecting both cpu and gpu, the gpu will work far better than cpu so cpu might hottleneck much. Better go for AMD FX 8350 Processor.

There will be a big bottleneck. I'd suggest getting an FX 8320 and a gtx 770 as that is more even, also get the M5A97 R2.0 all this will cost around the same as a gtx 780.

Welshstig :

I priced the components you listed from Amazon and this was the total price: £420.62

This does seem reasonable, but I'm no computer whiz, so I may have trouble fitting all of these; not to mention the 770 is 40cm long according to Amazon, I may need a new case.

It is extremely easy, all you need is a screwdriver.
If you don't want to build it though you can take it to any pc shop and they'll do it for you, and regarding the length of the gpu the 780 would be probably longer than the 770.
What case do you have?

The first one?

TaylorBristow · Dec 25, 2013

Welshstig :

It should be highlighted when you scroll down?
Second one: https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1600&bih=774&q=vantage+blue+midi+tower+case&oq=vantage+blue+&gs_l=img.1.0.0l2j0i24l8.12152.14617.0.16520.19.15.2.1.1.0.140.1248.12j3.15.0....0...1ac.1.32.img..5.14.936.cUVMUn9id68

Welshstig · Dec 25, 2013

Nope.

Give me a link to the actual image.

Welshstig · Dec 25, 2013

Oh the CiT vantage. That should fit most or any card out there, are you sure the gtx 770 is 40 cm long?
Which gtx 770 is it and ill look it up?

Welshstig · Dec 25, 2013

It should fit perfectly!

TaylorBristow · Dec 25, 2013

Welshstig :

Thanks so much! But I'm actually having second thoughts on my initial choice in graphics card... Now debating whether to buy a GTX 770 or a GTX 670

Which do you think would be better?

Welshstig · Dec 25, 2013

The gtx 670 is a re branded gtx 760 and the gtx 770 is alot better than the 760.

So the gtx 770 is alot better if you have the money if you don't go for the 760 or 670.

JOOK-D · Dec 25, 2013

What are your full specs at the moment? (CPU, GPU, RAM, Mobo, PSU)

TaylorBristow · Dec 25, 2013

JOOK-D :

CPU: AMD FX6100
GPU: ATI Radeon 7770 HD 1GB
750Watt powersupply
And a Gigabyte motherboard (sorry, dont know the specific model)

TaylorBristow · Dec 25, 2013

Welshstig :

Ok, I will look into the 770.

JOOK-D · Dec 25, 2013

TaylorBristow :

You could potentially save a lot of money if you knew the model of the mobo and PSU...

Welshstig · Dec 25, 2013

Your psu and mobo seems fine, but how much ram do ya have?

TaylorBristow · Dec 25, 2013

Welshstig :

8GB

Welshstig · Dec 25, 2013

That's good, you have everything you can now buy the parts

TaylorBristow · Dec 25, 2013

Welshstig :

Ok, so if I buy a GTX 770 I shouldn't have any problems?

Welshstig · Dec 25, 2013

Nope, the fx 8320 and gtx 770 will be a good match.

JOOK-D · Dec 25, 2013

If the 8320 is even compatible with the motherboard ._.

Welshstig · Dec 25, 2013

If you've read the thread fully you would of seen that I've said to get an m5a97 r2.0 am3+ motherboard, which are compatible with the fx 8320.

JOOK-D · Dec 25, 2013

Welshstig :

I know, I have one. Just seems like a waste if his current motherboard is already AM3+ and compatible with the 8320. Especially if the copy of Windows is OEM, that will add to the cost.
