Budget GPU Upgrade

[fedee13]

Hey guys! This is my PC:

ASUS M5A97 R2.0
AMD FX 8350
2x4 GB DDR3 Kingston (1600Mhz HyperX Blu / 1866Mhz HyperX FURY Blue)
Sapphire Ati Radeon HD 6770 Vapor X 1 GB
1 TB HDD
200 GB HDD
Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 550W

I want to change the GPU without changing the PSU.

I was thinking of a 750ti maybe? What do you guys say? (Budget: 150-200 USD max)

Thank you!

you can do way better for the money. a gtx 950 or an r9-380 would be money much better spent. and neither will tax that psu too much despite it being low quality.

Your PSU is near-junk, so a GTX750Ti is probably an appropriate choice. It may be able to handle a GTX950. It is not capable of 550W.

Edit: GTX950 yes, R9 380 I wouldn't do it.

Hi bro... Well that's not bad gpu. But for 150-200 USD u can get 950 Gtx or 960. r9 370x or r9 270-270x New... It will be a big upgrade compare to yours 6770.. If u ask me Get the 960 it's around 200... If u cant go 950.... Very strong cards for that money....

Yeah I know, the PSU sucks, badly. I think I'm going to go with the GTX950...EVGA, Gygabyte, MSI, Asus, Zotac? Too many manufacturers! haha

GO with EVGA best for Nvidia brand.. But if you want more future proof stuf let's say for dx12 go with AMD r9 380- 20$ on that 200....
