Unfortunately there's a problem, your price range "400-500$" doesn't match your PSU so well.

My best recommendation to you would be the GTX 970. Because the GTX 970 will run in your PC, and is an excellent card.

Take a look here: (Radeon R9 390)

The R 9390 falls right into your budget range, and is an excellent card.

but

Your PSU can't support the Radeon R9 390.

I think the GTX 970 is a very good choice :)

Thank you. I am a Intel user by the way. Hmm so i have to change my PSU then. What would be the best brand for durability for PSU matching the 400-450$ GPU. A good or long life span PSU and a mid - high end GPU is what im looking for.

ASUS is good for GPU's and you won't notice a big difference between companies as some have better cooling, others have higher clock speeds, etc. Personally I use EVGA for all my Nvidia cards since there located in the US and have excellent 24/7 customer support. I've also never had to RMA a GPU (I have had issues with there MB's but they were easy to deal with).

Asus STRIX GTX 970 DC2OC 4GD5 is my choice. Is this okay? I really want a red one but GTX760 Striker is too hard to find here since its an old model, i wanted my rig to have red led light or red combination since my Mobo had red led lights.

Can i ask one more time if Gigabyte GTX 970 XTREME Gaming 4GD5 is okay with my PSU, i think this will be my last choice since it has RGB led color and a cool Windforce logo and a backplate :D

Yes it will be fine, recommended PSU for the GTX 970 is 500W and not only is your current PSU powerful enough but it is a good quality unit by Seasonic.

First of, that i5 will draw a lot of power on games like gta v+

That xtreme edition 970 has higher clocks=higher voltage=more power consumption thats why it needs a 600w PSU. I would get a Evga G2 650W

Cause its also one of the best PSU's with 10year warranty,high efficiency,fanless mode, full modular, nice design what else you need? :lol:
