i was thinking of getting this card

or is that card a bad choice? can you recommend better?

Eduello · Jul 1, 2014

Yes, it's compatible as long as your PSU can handle it. To know that, we're going to need the exact model of your PSU.

how would i know that? i bought the pc. didn't build it.

Eduello · Jul 1, 2014

Open up the case and check what it says on the label on your power supply (the box that the power cord is plugged into).

Yeah, you're going to need a new PSU. This should do pretty nicely: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

what if i was to use my psu? would it not work?

Eduello · Jul 1, 2014

It might work for a while, but you might end up killing the PSU, and it may take some of the other components with it if does decide to fail.

I'm asuming they'll work with what you suggested? what is the zotac one and is it better?

Eduello · Jul 1, 2014

Yes, they'll both work with what I suggested.

The Zotac card has the reference cooler, which makes it better for really, really small cases, but it's noisier and hotter in most cases. It's also clocked lower. The only advantage of the Zotac is the extra VRAM, but it doesn't really help if you're not using more than 2 1080p screens. With all that said, I'd go with the Asus card, I've had a GTX 650Ti from them and I was not disappointed.

okay im looking into getting 3 monitors will the asus support?

Eduello · Jul 1, 2014

Gaming across all three or using one for gaming and the other two for things like browsing the internet?

Tom Cave · Jul 1, 2014

Eduello :

1 for gaming 1 for like skype the other for youtube or something, i might stick with 2 though..

currently i have two on my terrible card xD

Eduello · Jul 1, 2014

Yeah, that should be fine; I'm using 1 monitor for gaming and 1 for browsing and videos and I haven't run into any issues yet with my GTX 760 2GB.
