Compatibility check for gpu upgrade

[Rexlau]

Hi as I'm new in this. I would appreciate the help on my problem.

I intend to upgrade my pc's graphics card into ASUS STRIX GTX 970.

My initial set up is :

Processor : i5-4460 3.2ghz
Graphics : Asus Radeon R9 270
Motherboard : Asustek B85M-G
SSD : 1TB seagate
RAM : 4gb Kingston KVR16N11S8/4 x2
PSU : Coolmaster Elite (I'm not sure what power it is but it should be either 400, 450 or 500) which one do i need for this GTX 970?

PC Case : Toxo T300 Armageddon (im worried that the gpu may have problems fitting in my case)

And my purpose is to be able to better support high end games like ARK survival evolved.

Please help!! Much appreciated !! 😉

the 970 is obsolete, so unless you are getting it for less than ~$150 ( it needs a 500w or better power supply )



get a gtx 1060 or rx 480



also you need at least a 450w power supply, double check the wattage

so sorry about the negative vote, i accidentally hit on it when i was scrolling with my phone and i dont know how to change it.

Thank you so much for replying,

it says here that it requires a 500w minimum watt for the system and 200 for GPU so i need a 500watt psu?

also, what about my other specs do u think its compatible?

THANKS!!!!
