Hi guys,

I currently have a budget rig that i have slowly been upgrading part by part over a long time.

Finally its time to get rid of my Gigabyte HD7750 1gb GDDR5 card, and get a GTX 960 4gb (Because its the best card new in my budget)

But I only have a Corsair CX430 PSU. So I'm faced with a delema, get the sexy Gigabyte GTX 960 Gaming G1 Windforce 3x 4GB. and become forced to change my PSU (6 + 8 Pin PCIe).

OR...

Get the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 WindForce 2X OC 4GB, (6 pin PCIe) and lose some of the sexyness, features, cooling, silent operation and some clock speed.

Other than the mentioned differences they are pretty much the same card.

What do I do??

Change your psu, and keep the sexiness. Just spend a little more money even if it hurts. Look on the bright side, spending more money on a better psu will make your gpu more sexier and more powerful. Just sell your psu and get some money out of it, and then buy a psu that is 70-100 dollars. Find a psu that has the right amount of cables and wattage power. Check the reviews and see how good or bad it is. The first option is the best option, its time to upgrade bro, new parts new life :,)
