Should i upgrade

[malikron7]

hi
im going to but a msi 660 ti pe and i have an intel i5 760 no oc should i upgrade to a newer processor or mine is enough ?

 

[skitz9417]

more than enough for that gpu

 

[malikron7]

and is 230 wats enough for them both

You may have a slight bottlneck but it's virtually nothing. I have the i7 930 and I OC'ed it for my gtx 680. If you don't want that then learn how to overclock your CPU.

 

[skitz9417]

yea whats ur psu

 

[malikron7]

from what i can read it says eco tec atx-real230wats

 

[skitz9417]

u will need to upgrade ur psu to 600w because ur will stuggle for power

 

[malikron7]

so i absolutely cant because upgrading my psu will result in a total dissemblance of the pc which is something im trying to avoid

 

[skitz9417]

well im just saying ur will stuggle for power and u will need to upgrade ur psu to give power to all ur parts

 

[malikron7]

ok thanks

 

[skitz9417]

no worries

 

[malikron7]

but i have a gt 9500 that is running with the i5 on the 230 wats is it bad

 

[skitz9417]

you should be fine that gt 9500but if u want to upgrade to a gtx 660ti u will have to upgrade ur psu

the best card you can support with that PSU is an HD 7750, which is only one-third as powerful as the GTX 660ti
