Hey, i want to get a GTX680 for my computer, but im not sure if my FX-6300 will hold it back? And also, i can't find anywhere in Australia that sells a GTX68-0, help me find somewhere? Also, if there is a better card for the money or a reccomendation. Tell me. I want to get this PSU for it. THANKS!

I would recommend a 770 or 780 instead, as I couldn't find one, either. Your CPU and GPU should not bottleneck. That PSU will work fine with the card.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

What I think, you might wanna overclock your FX to at least 4.2ghz or 4.5ghz the best to minimize the bottlenecking possibility. Get a GTX770 instead, if you prefer Nvidia. They are basically the same card with higher clock and better made. Also check out this card AMD R9 280x. Both 770 and 280x perform pretty much the same.

Alright, maybe some links? I am not familiar with overclocking at all and i really don't want to. But, could i have a link to a 770 in australia?

Here is a good one I would recommend.

ASUS GeForce GTX 770 DirectCU II OC 2GB

Looking again, the Gigabyte DOES have better specs for cheaper. Get the Gigabyte. It should fit in a mid tower case. What case do you have? It will probably fit in your case if you remove the top hard-drive bays. If you OC your CPU, you should be fine.

Umm, Since i am gonna get the Gigabyte, i was going to basically get a new case and PSU because why not. I was thinking of THIS CASE: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_i...

(IS it good?)

and with the Antec PSU.


But get this MOBO for it? Is it better than my current ga-78lmt-s2p?

Do i have to OC my CPU. Because i have no idea of how to do it AND i am really scared of breaking my computer.

That case, PSU, and motherboard should all work fine. The motherboard is a decent upgrade, so I would get it. You do not HAVE to OC your CPU, but it might create a bottleneck if you don't, although that is not really bad.

This is a video about bottlenecking. To overclock, you need to go into BIOS when booting and change the CPU clock speed, CPU voltage, and if you want, change the RAM speed, RAM voltage, GPU speed, GPU RAM speed, etc.

Sorry, haven't been on in a while.


Hmmm. I really don't like messing around with that stuff... :/

And, say i got an fx-8350, would that hold back on the 770? Without overclocking?
