My rig:
CPU:Intel Core i5 3350P @ 3.10GHz
RAM: 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (
Motherboard: Intel Corporation DH67CL (SOCKET 0)
GPU: 1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 6870
PSU: Rosewill Stallion Series RD500-2DB 500W ATX12V
Budget Range: 250 for the gpu the one I'm looking at is the Radeon HD 7970, i'm willing to spend more if i need a new PSU
Parts to Upgrade: AMD Radeon HD 6870, possibly the PSU
Overclocking: no
SLI or Crossfire: no
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080,
I want to prepare for when games like watchdogs come out, and right now my rig is below the recommended settings. My cpu is below the recommended specs of 3.4, but I'd like to avoid upgrading it if i can since that is the most expensive.
I'm thinking of getting the Radeon HD 7970, but I'm not sure if my power supply is enough to power it. Will i be okay, or should I upgrade the PSU?
Also, in your opinion, how long do you think it will be until I would need to upgrade the 7970?
Thank you.
