About a new GPU please, respond!

[Panos Beltis]

I have these :

CPU : Intel I-5 4570 3.2 Ghz
Ram : 8GB
Motherboard : ASRock Z87 Extreme 4 (CPUSocket) 26Co
GPU : NVidia GeForce 750 Ti
Samsung TV 1920x1080

I'm thinking of upgrading to a GTX 900 series, the card I want to get is this :

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0+ 4GB GDDR5 256bit, DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI, DP SLI Ready Graphics Card 04G-P4-3975-KR


^ So, my question is, is this gpu card fittable on my motherboard? That's all I want to know, and If yes, will it destroy the cpu? Or will it help it? Thanks for your time, and I hope someone will notice this.

It will fit on your motherboard, but other things to consider are the room inside your case and your PSU. The GPU and CPU are a good match.

The GPU will work with your motherboard, and I'd think you should get an actual monitor if you plan on gaming, and upgrading the CPU soon as well.

my monitor is already an overkill 32" TV Screen....I don't mind If I spend smth more, I just want a very strong gpu that can play any game for this year, the next year and the year after that. That's all I want. I want the gpu to help the cpu to not get so hot, and I will also try to upgrade the cpu custom fan with an HYper Evo smth I don't know, I'm so stressed and afraid, I don't know what to do... thank you for your answers, so, is it really fittable? I don't mind with the case thing, I have another case, a giant server metal like case, maybe I can use that, right?

What is your PSU (Power supply unit)?

 

[Panos Beltis]

It's a 530 psu.

 

[Derza10]

It's a 530 psu.

make/model?

 

[Panos Beltis]

It's smth like ATCSx smth, didn't really saw, I don't think it's so important, given that we only need the psu watt power, right?

PSU's have a lot of factors that can make them different sizes and quality.

 

[Panos Beltis]

So, that means I must change to another PSU, right? Because I think the gpu I want to get, needs more watt power. Not so sure though.

 

[anti-duck]

Your PSU has enough advertised wattage, but it depends if your PSU can deliver enough of that wattage on the 12v rail. The quality of a PSU is really important too.

I would really try to figure out the model of your PSU before getting your 970.

 

[Derza10]

Most likely you will need a new PSU i don't know of any 530w PSUs that are even decent quality. If you could tell us the actually model number we could help you better.

 

[Panos Beltis]

It's a Powertech Atx-530 230V/3A 50Hz... that's all it says, under it, it has a chart with the volts, I didn't noted them down, I hope you know now what my PSU is.

 

[Derza10]

That PSU is very bad, you should really replace it, it is a Tier 5 PSU. (Tier 5 - NOT RECOMMENDED. Replace ASAP if you have one.)

Where are you from? trying to find a good PSU at a good price for you.

 

[Panos Beltis]

..... I payed for that computer 850 euro back then. I still think they ripped me off. I'm from Greece.
