:Looking for new Graphics card and PSU

ImSleepless · Aug 26, 2016

I'm looking to replace the Graphics card and PCU in my pc. I wanted to spend around €200-250 for the new graphics card and around €40-50 for my PSU. I hope you guys can help.

what are your system specs - that way it's easier to determine what's best for you

Eventually I would upgrade your CPU to a i5 or Xeon.

The power supply looks good so does the video card but i have one problem with video card.
i have 2 monitors 1 uses dvi and 1 uses hdmi but the video card you provided only has 1 hdmi connector

so get an adapter for 2$?

You need 1 HDMI and 1 DVI. Get an Displayport to DVI adapter. Or get a new HDMI or Displayport cable.

I would suggest this -

The graphics card is a bit out of my price range

Inkiad · Aug 26, 2016

Go with the RX 470 then, the power supply i listed is a good one and should serve you well.

ImSleepless :

you said 200-250€? it's well within according to your first post?
but yeah, the XFX is a good PSU, been using it for 5 or 6 years now.

£229.99 is about 300 euros

my bad, overlooked the pound sterling...
iyou can pick up a Rx480 4GB for around 250€ though depending on where you live
depending on the pricing, a GTX970 could be nice as well as they go very cheap sometime and offer ~the performance of a Rx470, in most cases the Rx480

You are getting gold rated power supply and this is also made by seasonic. The XFX one i listed before is also seasonic made.

What do you guys think of the MSI R9 380 Gaming 4GB?

Inkiad · Aug 27, 2016

Don't buy that. Go with newer technology. R9 380 is one of the most power hungry card you can get...... And an RX 470 will perform better if not similar than the R9 380 with about 60%-70% less power.
