Hi,
I have a gtx 770 2gb, and that vram is killing me. I have to options (I game at 1080p btw). Upgrade to a gtx 780 ti which only has 3gb vram and is £150 ($190) or upgrade to r9 290 £90($110) which has 4gb vram. Power wise, I know gtx 780 ti is superior, but NvIdia isnt too nice to Kepler owners, especially with driver optimisatin, and its only 3gb vram, so not as future proof as the r9 290. I dont thin memory is a problem for r9 290 as it has a 512bit bus width, but its just 5GHz. Also, my cpu is an i3-6100, and im reluctant to spending over £100. These are from eBay btw. Also, I have an artic 750w modular psu which is tier 5 on the list, but seller said no issues ever, very reliable etc. However, I am keen on upgrading. On amazon, there is a thermaltake berlin 630w power supply very good condition used for £16 ($20). Is this good quality (can't find on tier list)? Will it be able to run this system?:
