Hi all,
1) Sorry if this is covered in another post. Pls redirect if appropriate.
2) My machine:
- i5 3570k 3.4Ghz
- Asus P8B75-M
- 16GB DDR3 1333
- 180GB Intel 335 Series SSD
- Antec EA-650 EarthWatts PSU
- CM Storm Enforcer (just to indicate space)
- 320GB HDD
- Win 7 HP
- Asus HD 7770 1GB DDR5 (the component to be upgraded)
3) Budget: $200 ($AU)
4) Questions:
a) What would you recommend for the best performance within the budget?
b) Would the increase in performance be worthwhile considering what I want to spend... or do I need to spend more to see a noticeable improvement in performance?
c) Are there any cards in the answer to a) above that would stress my PSU considering how much rest of the system draws on it? I honestly don't know what demand the rest of the components are making on the PSU.
Many thanks in advance.
