How will a GTX 295 run on my system?

[adras_22]

System Specs:

Intel i5 750 (@2.66ghz)

Motherboard: Gigabyte P55-UD3

RAM: 2x2GB 1600mhz DDR3 (x86 so only 3.5gb useable D: )

In the process of upgrading my generic 850w power supply to a 1100w silent pro.

Just wondering if I can get what I pay for with this card?

You should have no bottlenecking issues, maybe a light overclock would help, but you should be fine. As for the power supply, all you need is a good quality 750w, and I mean GOOD QUALITY. Even an average 1100w is not recommended. Get one of these:

Also why the GTX 295? The 5870 is basically just as fast, has DX11, and is a single card system so won't be an issue in the future (SLI/cfx tends to be problematic). Oh its also a lot cheaper... Hell for a bit more you could get a 5970, which destroys a GTX 295.

Wow thats alot of useful information

I never really looked at Radeon cards..Except the 5970 which is a little out of my price range for now.

yes AMW1011 is totally right on the PSU and the graphics card

You should go with his advice!

Well that would be good for me anyway since I don't plan to EVER use SLI

The gtx295 is an sli card. Its basically two 275gtx gpus on one card.
