Before I begin, I just want to say I am new to the pc gaming world so please patient with me. I am thinking about ordering my first pre-built computer from Maingear. My job forces me to move every few years so I was thinking about their Protenza line because it would be easy to bring with me.
I want to get a decent video card; either a GTX 760, 770, or 780. Money is no issue, but I am concerned about the 450w power supply they offer. I e-mailed the company and they were very emphatic that 450w could handle a GTX 780, but after browsing this forum, I am a bit skeptical.
There is another issue: I will be using this computer in a third world country where the electrical infrastructure is not exactly stable or reliable and I am worried that might have an effect on the graphics card. I assume I will need to buy a surge protector, but aside from that, would there be an other issues?
Below are the rest of the specs - any help would be greatly appreciated!
