EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti ACX 2.0+ with forton hyper 600w

[progressivebrainscan]

I found a great deal for this card, can this GPU be connected to this PSU? Will this card bottleneck i5 4460? tnx

The card won't bottleneck, the PSU will be a problem though, ditch it.
Budget for a new unit?
How much does the 980Ti cost?

 

[progressivebrainscan]

Gtx with waranty (1 year) about 270 €. For psu budget around 70,80 €... tnx for your answer. I was thinking to get Corsair CX600M for psu.

The CX600M is an awful unit, if you're gonna buy a CXM look for the new units with a black label, they're much higher quality.

tnx Chugalug,any other PSU to recommend so I can check a few options before getting new PSU?

What country are you in?
What retailers?
I'll offer one recommendation, the best one there is in the price range available.

Not a good recommendation, cmon man, you need to learn units and stuff, pricing plays a huge factor, and that tier list is also vastly outdated and in some cases a little inaccurate.

better for him to look with the list as a starting primer and then come back and ask if he finds something


also QUALITY units never go out of date

A locked i5 will see a bit of a bottleneck with a 980 Ti. You're still better off with the 980 Ti but some games will not perform as well as if you had a more powerful processor.

I would also give that FSP power supply a miss.

The tier list is outdated a bit meaning the latest units aren't on it but it's still very usable. Tier 1 or 2 on the list will give you a quality unit that will last for years.

What I meant is that it oversimplifies areas where there's an in between and shunts stuff over in some cases, and doesn't include newer units.

Well f*** it, instead of just buying piece by piece im gonna stick to my pc up to september and then buy a new one. tnx for the answers

The 980 Ti is still a very powerful card. The last gen flagship needs more than a 2 generation old mid range CPU to get the most out of it though. I'm using an EVGA 980 Ti SC ACX 2.0+ ( with a 6700K ) myself and I'm able to max everything except Mankind Divided at 1440p. I've thought about upgrading for about a year now and I just can't justify it. A 980 Ti is roughly equal to a GTX 1070.

Tbh I never considered owning 980 ti untill I found this one, my idea was to grab rx 480 or 580 but since this whole mining thing I gave up from rx series.

Grab the 980 Ti now, that's a killer deal, not gonna find anything like that around.
Get the rest in Sept.
