Hi
Just upgrading my VGA.I've got a core i3 CPU, 4 GB of ram and P8H67 Asus motherboard.
I only have a green 330 watt output. But I can upgrade it if necessary.

Asus 650 ti boost or gigabyte 750 ti? Or ANY other VGA card?
Which is a better choice for me? I want to be able to play new games like watchdogs and cyisis 3 on medium quality. On 1080 res. And I can stand with low quality settings.
I saw many benchmarks telling me 650 ti boost is better but 750 to is a newer tech. Can it get better by future driver upgrades?

Thanks ;)

The GTX 650ti boost generally leads the GTX 750ti in performance overall. But the 650ti boost uses almost double the power (120W), compared to the 750ti (60W).

Here is a comparison , you can see which games they are best in: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_7...

I'd be weary of the 650ti boost working on a 330W PSU. But the 750ti would be more likely to work with your current PSU, if it meets the requirements:

GTX 650ti Boost requires 24 Amps on the 12v rail & a 450W PSU minimum
GTX 750ti requires 20 Amps on the 12v rail & a 400W PSU minimum]

I'd suggest a new PSU for the 650ti boost. And anything more powerful e.g R9 270.

GPU
AMD 7870 ($129.99): http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/video-card/#sort=a8&qq=1&...
R9 270 ($129.99+) : http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/video-card/#c=154,147&sor...
(R9 270/270X & AMD 7870 are similar performance. The 270X is an overclocked version)
PSU
XFX 550W 80+ Bronze ($44.99): http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb...
Corsair CX 430W 80+ Bronze ($24.99): http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx430
(XFX is better quality & more future proof)

R9 270x is higher than my budget. I can spend around 150 dollars for VGA. And I'm not sure r9 270 is worthy enough for $30 more against 650 ti boost.
And I prefer nvidia against amd. So I'll go for 650 ti and a new PSU.
Xfx sounds cool. Thanks. :)
