Iestyn Cale · Jan 7, 2014

Hi, i am looking to upgrade my GPU and i have seen that this has good reviews and is a fairly powerful GPU for its price. I am just wondering if it will fit in my case and motherboard ad since i dont know ow to tell, i am asking you guys

. So please reply ASAP and i am looking forward for an answer.

Specs:

Motherboard: Gigabyte Ga-M68mt-S2
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 3.4GHz Black Ed.
Case: Cit Mars Midi Case

If you need more specs please ask.

Yes it fits. There are newer better performing cards on the market in similar price range Like GTX650Ti and HD7790 that will work as well.
The only other question is what size is your PSU?

Gate9er · Jan 7, 2014

Of course it will. Could you also qive your power supply model and brand?

Thanks

Iestyn Cale · Jan 7, 2014

all i can say at the moment is that it is 500W but i will provide the brand soon when i ca get access to my pc

rolli59 · Jan 7, 2014

500watts should suffice if reasonable quality.

Iestyn Cale · Jan 7, 2014

ok, i have found out the model name. it is an ace A-500br

Iestyn Cale :

Well most of the reviews I have read are not in favour of this PSU.. Maybe you should consider upgrading your PSU as well. There are top brands in the market which can offer excellent liability, performance and efficiency.

ok thankyou for the help. any recommended psus i should consider? and do they need to be compatible with the pc or is it simple to set up

Agreed very low end PSU although it will handle the card it may as well die and kill the card with it.

Gate9er · Jan 7, 2014

Iestyn Cale :

PSU compatibility is not an issue in this case.

Iestyn Cale · Jan 7, 2014

hi, ive had and i have seen this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-TX650V2-Enthusiast-Series-Bronze/dp/B004O0P9TO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1389108886&sr=8-2&keywords=650w

i know corsair are generally good but i would like a 2nd opinion on it.

rolli59 · Jan 7, 2014

That is an excellent PSU.

Gate9er · Jan 7, 2014

Iestyn Cale :

That is a state of the art PSU. On the other hand I believe you should save some extra money by going for a 500 or 550W PSU, since a 650W will be an overkill for your rig.

Iestyn Cale · Jan 7, 2014

ok found a 500w version this ok? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Builder-Series-Bronze-Supply/dp/B009RMP2VE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1389110789&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+550w

rolli59 · Jan 7, 2014

Similar budget unit to the CX500 if any slightly better and cheaper http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100b10500kr

Gate9er · Jan 7, 2014

Yeah. Or you can go for the seasonic which offers 20W more, and a slightly better reliability.The seasonic is a non-modular PSU though, whereas the Corsair is semi-modular.
