Hi everybody,

i have choice to purchase one from them. please help me finding which one is best for me.

My requirements are: Gaming and 3D Rendering Power.

i am currently using XFX GT 240 1GB DDR3 (70W) if i remember correctly

i want performance with less power use. but performance is first. i have 320W PSU on my computer on which 240 works fine (with 2 hard drives) GTX 650 use less power than that i read on internet. and 7770 use 10W more than that. if i unplug secondary hard drive will it work fine? or should i change the PSU? Thanks

The 460 and 7770 are neck and neck, but the 460 consumes 160W on its own, i.e. 2x that of 7770.

Your choice would be the 7770. The R7 250X, if available, you should check out. It's the same card as the 7770. You might find it for cheaper if you're buying new.

One word of warning - the 7770(or 250X) requires a 6-pin PCI-E power connector. I don't think your power supply comes with one.

If that's the case, go with the 650. It's the only one of the three to not need a PCI-E connector(some variants of it do need one, though - check before you buy).
