Hello everybody!

I built my PC around 3 or more years ago and now have this urge to upgrade it!

I currently have the following things on my PC:

GPU: Msi Raedon 6950 Twin Fozr III
CPU: intel i5 second gen 2500k @ 3.3ghz (not overclocked) w/ Thermaltake Frio CPU Cooler
RAM: 8GB corsair XMS3
MOBO: Gigabyte P67A-UD4-B3
PSU: Corsair 750w
All fitted into the Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus case

I wanna update my GPU (And probably buy more RAM) to the GTX 770. Specifically this 770: http://uk.msi.com/product/vga/N770_TF_2GD5OC.html#overview

By doing this, will it cause any problems in regards to my CPU or PSU? And will my MOBO be okay with it?

Youll have absolutely no issues with that GPU and your existing hardware (CPU, Mobo, PSU). IMO, I wouldnt worry about the extra memory and would buy up to a GTX 780 if possible. Either way, congrats mate.

Hello! And sorry for the late reply!

Thanks for the answers, i was worried that my CPU might have some problems if i get a new graphics card but i guess that wont be the case. I will be ordering my 770 tomorrow and it will hopefully come within the week!

I would have like to have gotten a GTX 780 but that would mean I would have to cough up and extra £100 and unfortunately i cant afford that :(

But Thank you all for the help! :)
