Hello there

So I want to upgrade my Graphics card because it's been a long time and the cards performance isn't good anymore for the new games and it goes for very high temperatures " around 90 while playing some low graphic games "

My PC Specs are :
i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3-B3
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB " 2x4 "
And I've 500 Watt CM Power supply

I've around 500-600 $ to spend and I want Nvidia not AMD/ATI " It's not like final budget because there's price difference with my region "

I want you community to recommend me good Nvidia cards that won't have problems with my processor/mobo because I don't know much about that and I know I'll have to upgrade my PSU so also tell me how much WATT I'll have to get with the card recommended

And I'm wondering like GTX 770/780 will have problems with my mobo or the processor ?

Thanks in advance and I know I'm so noob at this :D

What model is the power supply? Do you know how many amps is on the 12V rails?
If i think it is a coolermaster power supply then i think you should buy a new power supply.

You will have no problems putting a GTX 770 or 780 in your build except the power supply.
A quality 550W is enough. Brands :Antec, Coolermaster V Series, Corsair (AX, HX, TX), EVGA SuperNova G2 Series, Seasonic or XFX

I assuming it is CADs
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 770 2GB DirectCU II Video Card ($379.00 @ Canada Computers)
Power Supply: Antec High Current Gamer 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($104.99 @ Canada Computers)...

Thanks a lot , according to what you said it seems the prices are so different because it costs here around 450$ for the 770 :\

And yes I knew that I'll have to change my PSU and yes I've a Cooler Master right now :)

Thanks for your answer and won't pick it as a solution now .. need some more people to give me their answers and after I'm done I'll pick it as answer :D

Thanks a lot for the fast and great response :)
