I'd like your advice.
Here's my build:
Thermaltake core v1 case
seasonic sII 520w psu
i5 6400
etc..
i just built it recently but i made a mistake of buying all the other parts before i bought the GPU so now i have some issues. I can't decide which gpu to pick, asus 470 or sapphire 480 4gb, in my country they cost almost the same, and i can't afford anything more expensive. I'm aware that 480 is better, but:
1) I'm gonna play ONLY 1080p at <60fps (display limitations). I'm also comfortable playing at ~40fps.
2) my psu is only 520w, 480 requires 500w MINIMUM, i'm afraid i might run into some power issues + if i can't overclock it is it even worth it?
3) my case is really compact itx case which obviously could get HOT, so if i picked saphire 480 i'm afraid it could thermal throttle but the asus strix 470 has a LOT better cooler, i hear it runs really cool compared to other brands, + it's a weaker card in general so i assume it runs cooler either way.
4) I don't wanna change any other parts of my build.
Which card should i get, or maybe you have some other suggestions? Thank you
