I have searhed and looked at alot of info on what I would like, but in the end I am still undecided on what to get. For power supplies I have no clue which to get for my pc, but I have heard that corrsair is a good brand to get. other than that I am clueless on power supplies. For gpu I have always purchased low budget ones that are under $100 so I am not familiar with ones that are $200 and which brand is a good or bad. I just do not want to buy them and find out that I could have gotten better for my buck or get something that is known to have issues. Any help that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: The purchase will probably be made within this month. BUDGET RANGE: $100-$120 for a 600w-650w PSU and $200-$220 for GPU before rebate.
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: I use my pc to play games and watch videos the most, search the web for college research and dabble with photoshop. I usually play graphic heavy games such as guildwars 2, Skyrim, COD and the such. I like to play current gen games for the most part so being able to play games that are going to come out in the future with little/no issues would be nice.
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: Gallaxy GeForce GT 520 1024 mb ddr 3. PSU: pci express x16, it is the cheapest one from best buy that is 400w (which is known for blowing up before reaching max wattage.) I want to get rid of it.
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: HP Pavilion Elite m9300t with an intel core 2 quad Q6700 @ 2.66 ghz and 2.67 ghz, IPIBL-LB (Benicia) motherboard, 6 gigs PC2-6400 (800 MHz) ram (dimm socket) Everything is in the same case as depicted at HP.com with the stock cooling system.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: I prefere newegg. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: (United States)
PARTS PREFERENCES: I usually get nvidia cards, but I am willing to consider a change just as long as the card is reliable.
Again any assistance would be appreciated.
OVERCLOCKING:No, I do not have the funds to put in more cooling at the time. SLI OR CROSSFIRE:No, the motherboard is not capable of doing either.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080 acer display connected by hdmi (currently use lower resolution to play games.)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I would like to play my games at full resolution or as close as possible with out loosing frame rate.
