Hello all,
I want to upgrade my living room HTPC to a gaming machine that is capable of playing modern games at 1080p on high settings. Current the HTPC cannot handle this task. I want to continue to use this as my HTPC so would like to keep power usage at a minimum and as quiet as possible when not gaming.
I would like to know which GPU would best suit my current setup without bottlenecking. I understand I may have to replace my PSU and case to accommodate the GPU but would like to keep cost below $300 if possible.
Here is my current setup:
CPU - AMD A10-5700 3.4GHz
Motherboard - ASRock FM2A75 Pro4-M
RAM - 8GB DDR3 1600
PSU - Silverstone ST45SF 450 Watts SFX
Storage - WD Green 2TB + 128GB SSD
Case - Silverstone ML03B Micro ATX
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as the choices of GPUs are far greater than my knowledge of getting the most bang for my buck.
Thanks,
Scott
