Hey guys, so with Watch_Dogs and maybe GTA 5 for pc showing up, i wanted to upgrade my pc so that it can handle ore games in the future. So if I want to play, for example Watch_Dogs in 1284*1024 with 40-60 fps with these specs, could that succeed?

Specs:

Motherboard: MSI 760-P23 (FX)
Graphics Card: Club3D Radeon HD 7770
Processor : AMD FX -4300 Quad Core 3.40GHz ( I dont know how to overclock)
Windows : 64bit
Power : Corsair CX430M
RAM : 8 GB
Resolution : 1284*1024

So my question is, what is the videocard my motherboard and powersupply can handle?

Thanks in advance for your help, guys!

On a 1284*1024 resolution, i would think the 7770 would run Medium settings, with maybe some high settings? Your PSU is going to limit your upgrade alot. wouldn't even run a 760 on that.

Maybe the R9 270 would be a good upgrade, im not sure if you'll need a PSU upgrade to run it. Though a good quality XFX 550W 80+ Bronze are pretty cheap.

I planned to buy an r7 260x but will my motherboard and powersupply be able to handle it?

Yes your motherboard supports it, if it supports the 7770 it should work. and it would run on your 430W PSU, and with a safe power draw. :)
