Hello,

I'm looking for a good gpu and the gtx 770 or 780 pops out to me for my system

My only concern is that I have a corsair 600 watt psu but is it enough to fuel this hungry card? Will I have to go for a 700 watt psu? What happens if I stay with the 600 watt?

Also, I read that ithe gtx 770 will not bottleneck my core i3 4160, is this true? How about the gtx 780? which is best for me?

if all comes to none of this working, should I just buy a gtx 960?

thanks

I have an i3-4160 and a EVGA GTX770 and run it with a EVGA 500W Bronze PSU-no sweat. Asrock H97M Pro/8GB G Skill 1600 and a 1TB HDD + a 120GB SSD. a GTX 770 runs only slightly faster than a GTX 960 but if you have a choice go for a 960.
