Need help buying a GPU, and PSU.

BurntToast27 · Oct 24, 2015

Hello, This is my first post on here, and I need some help with my components. I have an AMD fx-4300 CPU. I have a 760gma-p34(fx) motherboard. I have a really bad graphics card, and PSU. Long story short, pre-built, overclocked it to a 4.1. PSU is garbage, and can't handle it, Burned out my graphics card. I can run games, but there is black bars that flash about my screen. (Very Annoying). I was wondering what was a good combo for GPU, and PSU. i was looking for an AMD r7 260x 2gb, or better, for under 200$ total. Thanks in advanced.

I really don't know. Prefferablt a trusted source, like a pc website or such. And I was looking for something in the r7 range, maybe an r9.

OK well I agreed with Vics first option with the r9 380. It will have good performance and an r9 380 will beat a GTx 950.

I know,but the difference between partslists is the option of using rebates or not.It's not about the performance of the gpu's.

celtic_warrior99 · Oct 25, 2015

Yeah I guess, but may as well pay a bit more for better performance.

Vic 40 · Oct 25, 2015

If the budget allows for that sure.

Vic 40 :

And these can fit into my motherboard? because im just looking to replace these 2 parts, i don't want to get anything extra.

Vic 40 · Oct 25, 2015

Either of those builds will work fine with what you have. The one with the r9 380 is the best one if you can use rebates.

celtic_warrior99 · Oct 25, 2015

Yep, those will fit into your system without issues. If you do add a more powerful CPU or major overclocks in the future, you will probably need a better power supply, but it will be good for your current setup.
