I need a decent gpu and psu upgrade for gaming

Callum1357 · Jan 10, 2014

I will be upgrading my pc in a few months and I have a budget of ~$300 (I am willing to go up a bit if its worth it)

Current PC:
HP Pavilion 500-002a
CPU: i5-3470 (3.20 GHz)
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8570
2TB HDD
8GB DDR3 Ram
Current Power is 300w

This is good PSU

But your budget is bit tight for a good video card after that..

Id look for GTX 760 or R9 270X or better GTX 770 or R9 290

This is cheapest GTX 760

And R9 270X http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr927xoc2gd

I'd go for gtx 760

And

A psu 600w (I personally like Corsair)

If you want to be strictly in your budget, the following upgrade will suit you :
GPU - Powercolor R9 270x @ $204 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131532
PSU - Corsair TX 650 @$89 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020

However, If you wish to go a little up, you can get a better GPU :
EVGA Superclocked GTX 760 @$249 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130932

AlexSmith96 :

I should be able to get the extra bit of cash for the GTX and that was the same psu I was already looking at.
Thanks for the quick answer, ill probably be ordering the pieces in a few weeks!
