Hi,
I'm hardware beginner. I'd like to modernize my desktop PC. My current hardware list is:
1x Xigmatek Xigmatek Gaia SD1283
1x Asus P7P55D-E /intel P55/
1x Intel Core i5-760 /2.8GHz, 8MB, LGA1156, BOX/
4x Crucial Ballistix Tactical DDR3-1600 CL8 - 4GB (4 times 4GB RAM - in total16 GB RAM,)
1x MSI MSI GeForce GTX 460 Cyclone OC 1GB DDR5 /256bit/ 2xDVI/mHDMI
(i had two, one of them just broke)
1x Samsung Samsung 500GB 7200rpm 16MB cache SATA-II F3
1x Pioneer LG GH22LS50 SATA SecurDisc LightScribe (black)
1x Cooler Master Antec TruePower New 650W
1x SilentiumPC SilentiumPC Gladius 600 Window Pure Black (bez zasilacza)
1x Creative Labs Creative Labs Inspire A220 (2+1)
After reading "Best Graphics Cards For The Money: March 2015", and considering my budget (between 300-350 $ for graphic card) I'm thinking about buying GTX 970 card.
On review about it there is information that minium power should be 500W, will my Antec TruePower New 650W be able to handle it and rest of hardware? Will I need to buy some additional cords to power this card?
Will my CPU be good enough to handle new games (witcher 3) with this graphic card? Or should I think about new CPU too?
If you would also have some recommendation on how to update my computer with max budget up to 1000$ in total (I definetly plan to get SSD and make is a system partition and get new HDD for files storage), I'm open to recommendations!
Thank you for any help! I'm amazed at amout information on this webpage and how much I still need to learn
