Current build is as follows...
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
i7-4770K
12 GB DDR3
512GB SSD
Radeon R9 390 (dead)
EVGA SuperNova NEX750B PSU
Long story short, R9 390 died. Running on i7 4770K atm for general web browsing but can't game. Options were replace GPU with something similar or fast track building a new PC that I was planning to do in a year or so. I decided I wanted to build a new PC but I just don't have the money available to go all in just yet.
Decided on the 6900XT after finding an amazingly good deal when I was looking at the 6700-6800's from AMD and 3070-3080's from NVIDIA. I know there will be a huge bottleneck in my PC as it currently stands and I'm wondering how bad it'll be and if the bottlenecking will hurt the card at all or is that totally safe? And possibly the biggest thing, do I splurge a little early and upgrade the PSU now too? or can that 750W handle things in this old system for now? Figure with the bottlenecking it potentially uses less power (is that even a correct assumption to make)? In the new build I'll probably aim for a 1000W just for future proofing. I just need a few months to save up some cash to go all in with the rest of the new PC build.
