K guys I've made my choice and going for N'vidia GTX770 was wondering this card has more features? from my current one? Not saying features more like does it support next gen games in the future? not say the futurre like 2020 not like that like watch dogs/etc...

Upgrade the GPU

What's your budget?

eatmypie · Mar 27, 2014

Is this a pre-built system that you got somewhere at bestbuy or something?

kawininjazx · Mar 27, 2014

I mean your system is fine, what are you trying to accomplish?

Ryan Tan · Mar 27, 2014

eatmypie :

Custom. My dad has his technicians and stuff i did not wanted him to get me this setup first in the end he got it for me

I wanted get my own and build This setup quite old i got this 1 and a half years ago.

kawininjazx :

I want a good and affordable graphic card way btter then the current one and compatible.

Ryan Tan · Mar 27, 2014

ss202sl :

Below 600 USD for your country for me Im finding a good one in Malaysia currency.

ss202sl · Mar 27, 2014

GTX 780

Rationale · Mar 27, 2014

Ryan Tan :

Okay, that's possible. Your PC is actually pretty good, but there's room to improve the graphics card. (The CPU and RAM is already good enough you couldn't really noticeably improve it) Do you have a preference for AMD or Nvidia?

Most of us probably can't navigate Malaysian sites, so it might be up to you to check if our suggestions are available.

eatmypie · Mar 27, 2014

that is a pretty good budget, are some parts hard to find in your country? or are you able to order from us sellers?

Ryan Tan · Mar 27, 2014

Rationale :

Actually its pretty good but the games i play today like Titanfall which I got tons of fps drops somehow. Not only that game of course.
I dont mind both both amd or nvidia.

Ryan Tan · Mar 27, 2014

eatmypie :

Im not sure wether I should order from us dealers the shipping price to malaysia is insanely crazy.
Or Hand me the recommended components? Ill just keep them until if I can ever order online.

I'd say go for a GTX 770 or R9 280X. Either one would be good and should handle Titanfall easily on ultra. I have no idea if they're available in Malaysia.

Ryan Tan · Mar 27, 2014

Rationale :

Sorry about that, I just need a specific graphic card why not give me the link for the card and Ill ask my technician about upgrading the old one to the one you recommend instead? less hassle for you

I dont build computers btw

My technician is more like a guy where you ask him to do this he does it He does not know much about good graphic cards. But his good at building free of charge unless I order from him :3

http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/elite-430-black/ can the 1st link GPU fit in this case?

http://www.dospara.co.jp/5shopping/detail_parts.php?bg=1&br=31&sbr=213&ic=386177&ft=gtx+770&lf=0 for around 40,000 yen

http://www.dospara.co.jp/5shopping/detail_parts.php?bg=1&br=83&sbr=83&ic=363458&ft=corsair&lf=0 7,630 yen

http://www.dospara.co.jp/5shopping/detail_parts.php?bg=1&br=12&sbr=419&ic=205529&lf=0 10,880 yen

so you will have some room left over, you could either get an ssd or upgrade to some faster ram

Ryan Tan · Mar 27, 2014

eatmypie :

Thanks this is perfect I thought these parts were not compatible because of my noob instincts.

Rationale · Mar 27, 2014

Ryan Tan :

They're actually both about $350 here, meaning you'd have money left over if they cost a similar amount in your region.
The next step up would be a GTX 780. I didn't mention it at first since I didn't know how USD would convert to your currency, and also because anything better than a GTX 770 is not really necessary. If you want to spend more money for some reason, then I would suggest a GTX 780, but it's not really needed.

eatmypie · Mar 27, 2014

well how big is your case? the gtx 770 is about as big as a notebook from like a school. If you take a notebook from the back of the case where the card would go can you put the notebook across without running into anything?

Ryan Tan · Mar 27, 2014

eatmypie :

My case is this http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/elite-430-black/

Rationale · Mar 27, 2014

eatmypie :

It's probably as long as a notebook, but not nearly that wide. Just pointing that out.

Ryan Tan · Mar 27, 2014

Rationale :

I understand but heres my case hope it fits http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/elite-430-black/

Ryan Tan · Mar 27, 2014

Guys does the 770 fit in this case??? http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/elite-430-black/
