Duel Gtx 770 help

mintberrycrunch · Mar 29, 2014

So I have had my computer for a few months now and it runs great but recently a friend gave me a gtx 770 the same one that I have in my computer already and I was wondering if my computer could handle it and if it is worth putting in or should I sell it

Please feel free to ask questions if I wasnt clear

current computer

cpu: Amd fx-8350 Black

Gpu: EVGA GeForce GTX770 SuperClocked

motherboard:Msi Motherboard North Bridge AMD 970 & South Bridge AMD SB950 Chipset ATX DDR3 800 AMD AM3+ Motherboards

power:Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS (CX600)

UPDATE
thanks for your quick responses and here is the link to my mother board http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073JYZ48/ref=oh_deta...

also anyone got some recommendations for a good power supply that could handle it

you will run into power issues, with a second 770. You would need to upgrade your PSU.

Corsair Builder Series CX 600 power supply has ass cheap capacitors. It will not handle it. It does not have neither the power not the reliability. If you wish to SLI the 770s - you need new power supply. As if you ask a 2nd 770 is worth it - depends on what you game and your monitor set up and most importantly - are you happy with it.

Need to know the model of the motherboard to see if SLI is supported. And you'll need a psu upgrade aswell.

Can you get us a specific model number for your motherboard?

But yea the power supply won't be enough. You'll want at least 700 watts and gold certification for running two 770's in SLI. I recommend this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207029

Your motherboard does support SLI, so we've got that covered. Do you have a budget for the power supply?

Low-end power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182073
Better power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010
Best (future-proof as well) power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207029

Any of those will work. I personally think the corsair is best suited for your build though.
