Getting a new graphics card

Hey, my graphics card on my computer is failing all the time and it seems I need a new one. However my PC is about 3-4 years old. So the specs are:

intel i7 930 @ 2.80 ghz

motherboard: X58A-UD3R Gigabyte.

6 GB of ram

1 GB nvidia 465 (which is failing)

coolermaster 650W

So I was thinking of getting a nvidia 760 but was worried that it wouldn't work well with my setup and the power supply wouldn't be enough. However down the line I think I will upgrade more of my computer.

The 760 is the equivalent of my 7850 I've heard. You should be fine with that card with your current setup.

You really should consider upgrading your while rig :/

@soolkiki: thanks a lot :)

Overclock the CPU and it will last another year or two. GPU upgrade is most needed.

At least this is my opinion on it.

GTX 690 or wait for the GTX 790.

@horgen123: thanks for the advice, will definitely look into that.

radeon r280x for best bang for buck, or 7970 ghz if you can find one with the never settle bundle

760 is equivalent of 7870, not 7850.

Where I live the 760 cost as much as the R9 280X and you know what I'm going to recommend, anyway the 650W supply is more than enough unless you're into 2 GPUS SLI/Cross

More like the 7950. It's about as fast as a 670.

It also overclocks a lot.

Thank you for the correction.

The 760 would be fine with your current setup. The only drawback is that your motherboard only has PCI-E 2.0 x16 and the 760 is a 3.0 card, so you won't get everything out of it.

Thats simply ignorant. The performance difference between a 3.0 and a 2.0 at x16 is almost non-existent.

what's the budget?

According to Asus PSU wattage calculator, the minimum wattage for your setup with GTX 760 is 700W as minimum, so you should get a 800W PSU.

The i7 930 is a very power hungry one.

no way

his psu is fine, could probably power that on a solid 480watt (an 80+ gold one)

if you are not SLI-ING you only need a 550W to be totally in spec for high end-gpu there cheap. i7 930 is hungy cpu but FX8300 is even more hungry when overclocked

Actually it IS non existent... Not almost.

Shit. My bad. Jump my nuts why don't you.

Bingo. Thank goodness someone knows what's up.
