Recommendations on new PSU for a GTX 770

SoulTechNameI · Nov 10, 2014

I will be getting a Ge force GTX 770 this Christmas and need to decide on a power supply as my current one is very underpowerd

My parts include:
1 x CORSAIR CX series CX430 430W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

1 x AMD 760K Richland Quad-Core 3.8GHz Socket FM2 100W Desktop Processor AD760KWOHLBOX

1 x Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive - OEM

1 x MSI A78M-E35 FM2+ / FM2 AMD A78 (Bolton D3) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

1 x Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model BLS8G3D1609DS1S00

1 x MSI R7 260X 2GD5 OC Radeon R7 260X 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

1 x Rosewill LINE-M Micro-ATX Mini Tower Computer Case, Dual USB 3.0, come with Dual Fans, Support up to 4 Fans, 12.5" ...

Sorry if this seems a bit disorganized as this is my first forum post

You will be severely bottlenecked with that CPU.. However a good PSU would be the XFX 550w

Anything higher than 500w should be fine, to be honest I think lower would be just as fine.

So I don't have to but should upgrade my processor and if I do upgrade it what would you recommend

Shain Taylor · Nov 10, 2014

SoulTechNameI :

I would recommend an I5 4690 (K or not) or if you are on a tighter budget, get an either an FX-6350 or 8350

I would upgrade, it will make a huge difference with a powerful card like the 770

SoulTechNameI · Nov 10, 2014

Shain Taylor :

Could you give me a range of huge difference? This is my first build PC and my first upgrade and I already have to re-wire the majority of the computer and last time I did two of my front USB ports stopped working. By difference do you mean FPS wise? Or some other measure, and if I don't get a new processor will it even make a significant enough difference from my old card to even upgrade

SoulTechNameI :

I'm talking FPS difference, not just your averages but your minimum too. That CPU will severely bottleneck the GTX 770, it will even bottleneck a 760.... I've used a friends athlon 740k with an HD7850 and it was awful, FPS drops everywhere, couldn't sustain a constant 60 in BF3. However once they upgraded to an 8350, the gameplay was butter smooth, 60 fps constant...

The only issue is that you would need a new motherboard. But don't think of changing your components as a burden, as you will learn something new every time

Shain Taylor :

I'm already getting the power supply and card for a Christmas gift I have a 770k and it's also a quad core will that make a difference I don't have the 100$ to shell out on a new processor should I even get the card? Is it even worth it without the processor upgrade?

Shain Taylor :

New motherboard for what? I have already checked and the 770 will fit. Processor?

Shain Taylor · Nov 13, 2014

SoulTechNameI :

Yes, the processor

SoulTechNameI · Nov 13, 2014

Shain Taylor :

UHHHHHH I can't just build a new PC is there any other card that I could get that wouldn't bottleneck on my PC?

Oh and thanks for tolerating any complaint I might have gone on about also thanks for all the help you have provided

Also for a new motherboard what would you recommend? *Cheapest possible* *Extra Graphics Card Slot*

If you don't want to be bottlenecked, go for a GTX 760, however that's only a 10-20% increase in performance.
I would reccomend getting the 770 and the PSU now, then later getting a new motherboard and CPU

Last question - :] If I do just get the psu and 770 will I be running BF4 ultra 60FPS 1080p?

Yeah, you should see around 50-60 fps
