Looking to Uprade, can my motherboard handle it..

[erik419]

So i want to upgrade my pc a bit for the new star wars mmo...

right now i got...

GeForce 9500 GT
4 gigs of ram
AMD 7750 Dual-Core 2.70 GHz
Foxconn A74MX-K AM2+/AM2 AMD 740G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

and thinking of buying a Radeon HD 5670 ddr5, now can my current specs run it or will i be bottlenecking my pc?

 

[wiinippongamer]

It should be alright, if there's any bottleneck it won't be of importance.

In the weekend beta i was getting close to 20 fps with the 9500 gt, i want to try and get more if possible..

So if i can do better then a 5670 what else can i buy that will work?

Actually, give mi your FULL computer specs. I can suggest better cards then that.

I suggest 6670

I think your PSU should do fine. I check this http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/sapphire_hd6670/15.htm and system Power consumption is all below 300W. But I must to know what brand is the PSU. And, do your Motherboard support Pci-E 2.0? If no, then it is better for you to get a complete new system because your motherboard will not support 6670. Your system is too old right now. I will give you the parts.

Yes it is PCI-E 2.0.

and the PSU is logisys

i just opened my case and it says total power = 330w and max output = 480 w

Seems fine.

 

[erik419]

Does max output mean i really have 480 watts?

 

[refillable]

I don't know. I am no PSU master.

 

[internetswag]

Yeah definitely get the 6670 at least. It's only 9 dollars more.
