Looking to update my computers hardware, but im a bit of a spoon at it! :)

Hello! this is my first post! i'm currently trying to upgrade my computer, as its a piece of crap lol, and im trying to figure out if my motherboard is compatible with the gcard i had in mind, weather or not its just better to rebuild another pc, OR if i can get away with just swapping parts.

Thanks in advance!

My pc build is as following -
Cooler Master HAF 922 Midi Tower Black.
Corsair TX V2 650W PSU.
AMD FX-6100 6-Core Processor.
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3, Socket-AM3+.
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 16GB CL9.
XFX Radeon HD 6950 1GB GDDR5 "Dual Fan".

what i'm looking at getting is http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-msi-gtx-770-tf-gaming-pcie-30-%28x16%29-7010mhz-gddr5-gpu-1098mhz-boost-1150mhz-cores-1536-dport-dvi

Hi Warlanoth
The GeForce GTX 770 requires a psu with 42A on the +12v rail and a 600W PSU minimum
Your Corsair TX V2 650W PSU. , which is an excellent quality psu with high grade japanese capacitors
has 53A on the +12v rail and 650W
You will be fine to get that card , plug it in and enjoy
It will work fine

Thanks for the info! im not quite sure if you included the motherboard in there or not, but thanks for the help!

your psu will have power enough to run all of your system and the new card

Thank you for the replies !this might be a silly question, but if i was looking for crossfire two of those, would my pc be able to do so, or would i need to swap parts?

your two cards are incompatible they must be the same GPU for Xfire ( 2x HD 6950 ) or ( 2 x gtx 770 )
