What Graphics Card/Monitor?

saintlouiscards · May 8, 2014

I have a new system and I plan to upgrade my gpu. I am planning to buy a new monitor with it. I have been looking at the Asus Vg248qe, and some reviews say the colors are not so good. As for the gpu, I have been looking at the gtx 780 ti. I play both mmo and fps games. So what are your recommendations on a new gpu and monitor for my system? Here is the rest of my system:
Intel Core i7 4770k
MSI gd-45 mobo
Corsair Vengeance 8 gb 1600mhz
WD Black 1tb
Radeon R9 270x 4 gb
Corsair Cx 750m Watt Psu
Corsair Carbide 540

Get a new PSU. The Cx units from Corsair are not very good and the 750w unit is the worst of the lot.

Antec, XFX, Seasonic, Corsair (TX, HX, AX) are what you want.

Yep - I agree with the psu renewal. Get one from Tier One - http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html#13224310
I've got a Corsair TX 750 - an oldie, but a goodie because it's made by Seasonic.

You need to provide a budget for the graphics card and monitor. I've heard that the Asus VG248QE is 'mind blowingly good'
The next step up from the 270x that would be worth doing is to at least a R9 290 or GTX770. Depends on your budget.

I am not changing my psu. I have had it for some time now and have had no problems whatsoever.

As for the monitor, please try to keep it around $300. For the gpu, $700

Honestly, I would not risk my whole system to a sub-par PSU. Getting a more powerful GPU will raise the load on it and cause it to fail easier.

For 300 and 700 respectively, you sure could get top of the line stuff.

Monitor: I'd recommend one of these Asus: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=asus+monitor&N=-1&isNodeId=1

You want 24in or 27 in, 60Hz or higher, 1080p or higher?

GPU: The Asus GTX780ti - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121838
