Want to upgrade My 9400GT

Hi,

I Want to upgrade my 9400GT to a HD7750, Would that be a smart choice?

My psu is : delta gps 400-ab, I think it is good enough to handle the 7750?

If you need more specs of my pc just ask


Thanks

That PSU is not very good. 450watt would be fine, but you need a better unit. That one can damage your parts and operates poorly.

I recommend this if you don't have a lot of money: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026&Tpk=Corsair%20430

As for the GPU - it depends what you want to do. What's your budget and how much gaming do oyu do?

My budget is around 120-150, I game alot but mostly League of Legends.

The HD 7770 fits within that price and will do LoL fine at moderate resolutions.

But I urge you to upgrade that PSU to a better made unit.

Okay, I think i'll just go with the Hd7750 And upgrade my PSU :C

Thanks Anyway!

This fits your budget -- or is VERY close to it at least.

check the power consumption. the old card might use more. ??

Doesn't matter how much the old one used; that PSU is terrible. It'll end up costing more in electricity bills, heating the entire case, being noisy and potentially degrading the electronics by delivering dirty power.
