Good card with A8 6600k cpu

Prorex0 · Aug 4, 2015

I have a budget of $200 Canadian dollars and I was wondering which gpu would be good with that cpu

Does $200 CAN get a GTX 750 ti or R7-270x.
Anything beyond a 270x will be a complete waste of money because the weak A8 will bottleneck the crap out of it.

Also what is the power supply, have to make sure it is capabile of supporting the GPU?

the power supply is 550w, of the 2 you mentioned which 1 do u think would go better with the cpu?

Prorex0 :

The fact that the sticker on the PSU says 550w means nothing, might as well take a sharpie and make it 880w.
Power supplies range from top end products to absolute garbage. Quality units are rated and certified to a power spec and efficiency rating, they also have multiple protection circuitry to prevent any power fluctuation from destroying the power supply AND the computer. Cheap junk PSUs have nothing rated/certified, no protections, and will often slap a high number on the sticker, despite that the PSU could not handle outputting 60% of the claimed wattage. Think of these low end ones like a "2000w" car amp being sold out of the back of a van for $100.

What is the brand and the model number of your PSU (please give fill model number as 1 digit difference can make a huge difference in quality).
