Palit GTX 970

[dark_blitz]

Hi guys! I saw a palit GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 256bit would it work on my specs?


ECS A960M-M3
8GB Kingston 1333mhz
Thermaltake litepower 700w
Atlus Raidmax (casing)

if not, what are the required specs? I currently have R9 270x as my video card right now.

What CPU do you have?

sorry I forgot about the CPU since i was planning on replacing it.. CPU would be

AMD Vishera FX-4300 4.80Ghz quad core

That will bottleneck the 970 but as you're planning to replace it, it should be fine, what do you plan on getting?
The 970 will work with your system by the way, as long as you have a decent PSU with 2 6+2 Pin PCI connectors on it.

Thanks sarge ^_^ anyways I was planning on getting i7 3770k and replacing the Motherboard ECS H77H2-M3. so there's no problem with the PSU?

It's not bronze rated, which isn't ideal, but it should work fine as the 700w kind of balances that out. It has 2 6+2 PCI connectors which is correct

@Sergeant
Thanks! But what do you think is a good budget psu for the VC? and is i7 3770 or i7 3770k a good processor?

I have a Corsair CX600M myself, it only has 2 6+2 pin pci connectors so I can't SLI, not that its strong enough anyway. You could get a decent 650/700w Corsair PSU.
The 3770/3770k is a good processor yes, if you're not doing things like heavy rendering, and haven't already bought the 3770k, I'd suggest saving the money and getting an i5 4690k

Thank you Sarge for all your help! I'll save up on that i5 4690k
