Best GPU for 400w Antec?

[romeodakins]

Right now I have a 6670 and I'm looking to upgrade. I have this power supply
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371029

What is the best graphics card I can get with this. My cpu is the A8-3870k which takes 100w

Would I be able to put this is my machine http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004F6GJAU/sr=8-2/qid=1360524171/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1360524171&seller=&sr=8-2

without any hazard of the card failing or my machine burning and eating my components?

I heard Nvidia GPUs are more psu efficient so nvidia gpus are fine too, doesn't have to be an amd one.

budget?

budget?

Whatever the cost, I just want the best for 400w and something the A8 won't bottleneck.

id recommand this as its low power usage.

Get the 7850, it will do : http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=77797&vpn=FX-785A-ZNL4&manufacture=XFX&promoid=1312
or this one : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150642

Both with free shipping and two games.

Would it be better than the 7850/6850?

It's only 20w less and performs a little worse.

Wooow those offers look amazing, 2 new AAA games plus card xD I'm gonna get that probably

So which one is better, the first one you put or the second one?

 

[djangoringo]

The first one is cheaper, 150$ after mir, the second one is in newegg, 160$ after mir, it's the same card, both places offers the same games.

I'll probably get it from newegg, more trustworthy right? So if I get a DOA one or one that breaks, do I have to pay for return shipping and stuff to get a replacement? Also thanks for the links.

Would it be better to go with this one
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202004

because the reviews on the 160 one has some negative ones.

The xfx is fine, but if you want the sapphire, get it, it has a dual fan cooling system.

So what's the benefits between getting the 2GB version instead of the 1GB?

I found a good one on amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B007MLSGHE/ref=sr_1_2_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1360528237&sr=8-2&keywords=7850&condition=new 170 with rebate, free shipping, free bioshock and tomb raider and 2GB. And it's from amazon They have the best customer service.

 

[djangoringo]

It's out of stock, i think amazon doesn't offer the games in question.
There's this one with rebate : http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=77602&vpn=FX-785A-CNL4&manufacture=XFX

Or this one : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102998

For 2GB versions, but if amazon really offers the games in question, and you can wait, you might get that one.

I found an identical one here http://www.amazon.com/XFX-Edition-DisplayPort-Graphics-FX785AZNL4/dp/B009TS478K/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1360532062&sr=8-13&keywords=7850 the review says the 2GB one offers much better performance for open world games. I might go with the 2GB one when it comes back in stock and I think they do offer the games, I'm gonna chat with the support about it.

 

[djangoringo]

Yes, if it does offer the games, it's a good choice going with the msi twin frozr 7850 2GB.
Just make sure it will have and at what time it will be on stock(you might wait a few days).

Thanks again for the help! I can't wait for my new gpu So am I going to experience bottlenecking or none, I'm most concerned about this.

 

[iceclock]

ya 2 gigs will help u with games that require more than just 1gig of vram

It will not bottleneck, it's a decent cpu, and the card itself pays off, with two games wit a value of ~120$.

 

[iceclock]

yes it will. with games that use more than 1gig of vram.

theres already games that use more than 1 gig

 

[romeodakins]

Thanks, so I almost forgot, will the card fit in this mobo?
http://www.asus.com/Motherboard/F1A55M_LE/

and does the 2gb one take more watts?

 

[iceclock]

yes your mobo supports pci-express cards. and runs at full speed of 16x. ultimate desired speed for a videocard.

100% compatible

No, the 7850 2GB twin frozr only takes one 6 pin pcie connector, so it's the same power consumption.
You have a pcie 2.0 slot, it's compatible with pcie 3.0, and it will fit.
@iceclock i was referring to the cpu.

 

[iceclock]

oh cool. im out
