Hi, So I really wanna get a new GPU now and I have the money, but I don't know which one to go for (again.) I was thinking This one or This one And I have no clue which PSU to get. And if it will fit in my case. And if it will line up with my motherboard. And if it has the right socket. (I think it does...) I am very new to building/upgrading computers btw. Thank you
Just get something that's at least 500w and from a known/reputable brand. I've got a 500w Be Quiet! and it's working great for me. Got it new for $35 off NCIX.
The performance is very similar so consider what features you want. Eyefinity? TrueAudio? Mantle? Then go AMD. Shadowplay? PhysX? CUDA? Then go Nvidia Also keep in mind the GTX 750 ti runs a lot cooler than the 270X (75w TDP vs 185w TDP) - a 750 ti owner
The 270x would be the better choice of those 2. And really just get any psu made by Seasonic or the other big brands... http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/psu_manufacturers
Get the 270X. Or just get a 270 and OC it a bit, instant 270X for less money. No, you don't need the two 6-pin connectors.
Ok, thanks everyone for your help, I think I'll go for the AMD because it's a bit less and I don't need the 2 6-pin connectors from the PSU. I guess I'll get an at least 500w PSU from a decent, well-known brand. Thanks again everyone.
Yeah, just look for one on sale from a known brand. Like this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139048&Tpk=N82E16817139048) $34 after rebate. Pretty good deal IMO.
