Hey
I'm in need of a new gpu because there are so many great games out there that I can't play with my old one.
So, here is what I had in mind.
My budget is tight, and I can't afford "the best" stuff, the stuff I'd really like to have, but here are my options:
GTX750-Ti Palit StormX Dual 2GB DDR5 $210
1202/6008MHz
128bit
2years warranty
GTX660 Gigabyte OC 2GB $237
1033/6008MHz
192bit
3years warranty
R9 270 ASUS OC 2GB GDDR5 $249
950/5600MHz
256bit
3years warranty
Yes, of course, r9 is the best, but...
There's a catch.
Here's a list of PSU's I can get, that are available in the store.
500W Chieftec GPS-500A8 $53
500W Cooler Master B Series $60
530W Thermaltake Smart SPS-530M $71
630W Thermaltake Smart SPS-630M $83
As much as I'd love to get the R9 270 and the 630W PSU, I can't afford it...
I saved up $310 and that's my MAX!
So my question really is...
Will R9 270 work well on 500 Cooler Master PSU ^^^, or should I spend more on a PSU and get 660 instead.
750ti is still an option.
For now, I'm sticking with Pentium g3220, which is not power hungry at all... But if I were to ad an i3, (or an i5 with maybe a slight OC), to the r9 270, would I need more than 500W?
What I need from any of these GPU, is to be able to give me 40-50FPS on 1920x1080, at games like BF4 (yes, I do know mp is CPU heavy, I will upgrade it when I can), Witcher 3, The Elder Scrolls Online, new Wolfenstein, Diablo 3...
