Psu: any 550-600w 80+ efficiency

Any other reccomndation? Im on a tight budget.
 
Solution
You will be fine to go with the 750Ti and you will be able to play most games on medium at 60fps. Remember you can always upgrade if you feel like it later on :)

I am using a EVGA 750Ti right now and with a AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 8 Gb of Ripjaw X and the EVGA 750Ti I run mostly all games on Ultimate or high setting without any problems the only thing in games I have a fps drop with is shadows you have to set shadows to medium but everything else almost max settings
 


Oh. Wow. I am pretty impressed - I knew the card was great for budget gaming but I had no idea it was that good.

Yeah I was too when I got it about 8 months ago its a beast for its budget I can admit that. I dont check fps much but when I play world of warcraft everything is at max settings except shadows. them dam shadows hurts my fps it will cut them in half. In WoW I get about 80-120 fps never have I seen it go bellow 50 and rarely do I ever see stuttering also I have played Dragon Age Inquasition, Far Cry 3, Assassins Creed Black Flag, FF13, Tera, Dues Ex Human Revolution, Both of the Last Lights, Crysis 3, Battlefield 4, CoD Ghost, StarCraft 2, and many others and all of them were set with high/ultimate mix with pretty smooth gameplay but keep in mind though my resolution is 1280x1024 thats my experience with that card on that resolution I havnt experienced it on higher resolutions so results might differ for a screen that runs on higher resolutions

hell if your wearing glasses you should be able to see better than people that dont need glasses but anyways if you have 8Gb of ram and you use the i5 4670k CPU with the GTX 750 Ti it could probably perform better than the CPU/GPU that I am using

Are you planning to overclock the CPU?
Btw the Hyper 212 is great but a bit of a b*tch to install so prepare to rage a bit.

Looks good over all but you might want to consider to take a 8GB-kit Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM @ 1600MHz, it's very good for it's price.

550 to 600 psu is fine but if you decide to upgrade down the line you might want to get a 750 just in case you know its better safe than sorry and if you under voltage/wattage your setup you can do some serious damage and fry something I did it on accident to an old dell vista in 2009 by just putting in a crappy low profile graphics card and a cheap 5.1 sound card and it fried something because I made the mistake of not upgrading my 350W psu to a 450W and made it to where if I let my computer sit inactive for 5 or less minutes the whole screen would freeze and I couldnt do anything so I removed the new parts and the issue stayed the same. I never figured out what went bad
