GPU and Power Supply Help

rdopler313 · Apr 11, 2014

I am upgrading my gateway dx4850-27eu i5 2300 2.8ghz, 1.5tb, 8gb ram, 300w power supply.

My plan is this:

R9 290: Now this product is from a online ebay store, can you guys check it out and see if you think i should do this http://
630 Watt Power Supply: http://

I need to know if these items are compatible with my pc and if you think that is a good buy, ebay makes me nervous but that is a great deal.

i realize after looking at the specs i need a 750 w power supply, still on the fence about buying on ebay though. HELP. also is this a non reference card or no?

It looks like a miner selling off his card like they all seem to be doing. I wonder if he modded the bios? Odds are that card will not fit in your stock case. If you are willing to spend the money on a new case I would suggest it. Also I do not know about Rosewill psus, though the most critical review made my day a little.

It is a reference card, nearly every miner was.

ya i don't think im going to mess around with it. Do you think a new GTX 770 2gb would be a good buy? would a 630 watt power supply be enough for it?

Yes, a good 550w psu will take even a 780 if it has to. Also, you can put a closed loop cooling system on it for about 80 usd.

Found this one, decent cooling setup, not a champion overclocker though. Also, I am serious about getting a new case for one of these gpus to help improve airflow and for them to fit.
