Last response: in Components
Share

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=N82E168...

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=...

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.

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.

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...

Or this one : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

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-... 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.

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 :D  So am I going to experience bottlenecking or none, I'm most concerned about this.

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