Hey guys, my wife has a system that I built for her about 3 years go. We are looking to upgrade it a little bit, since she doesn't game too much, but would like to get back into it a little bit.
She has a Phenom II x2 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103680) that is unlocked to a 4 core cpu and overclocked slightly to 3.4ghz.
She also has this PSU (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341016)
Lastly, she is running an old 9800GT (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133304) that is starting to show its age.
Basically, I want to know what the best GPU upgrade would be without having to upgrade the PSU. She will not be overclocking the gpu at all and will also set the cpu back to stock if need be. We were looking at a 560ti that has the minimum requirements at 500w, but I don't know that it will be enough. Defenitely don't want the psu running at full load all the time.
Any suggestions?
