id go for a 600w (wont need that much but headroom is always nice), make sure its a good quality unit from a well known manufacturer

see here

750ti 20A and 400W

if getting a new PSu I suggest the Seasonic S12II 520W. its a bit more than needed but is high quality from one of the best PSU manufacturers around. 5 yr warranty

thanks for the link would u recommend a 780 or 980 in my eyes the 780 is cheaper i game at 1020x1080 60fps is a must

Still answers the question just in a slightly roundabout way, misread the question slightly

R_1 · Aug 7, 2016

42A 600W
S12II 620W from seasonic

Kaitlin Kaschak :

a new AMD RX 480 for $200 with 4GVram is alot better for you than a GTX 780 ti , ignore the offer all together... andd you will not need to change the power supply it just need 150 watts .

or you can get the GTX 1060 if you want.

Gtx780ti = $180. New psu = $70. Grand total for new gpu = $250.

New Rx480 = $235. The 480 has similar if not sometimes better performance than the 780ti at 1080p. It's new, covered under retailer and factory warranty. The 780ti, if it goes bunk in a month, you just lost a friend.

Really a no brainer.

^Agreed.

$180 for an old 780ti is a bad deal. See if you can get it for like $100 or lower. Otherwise just get the RX 480.
