Looking to replace AMD radeon HD 7500 with nvidia

[jake7021]

Im currently running windows 7 on an HP h8-1360t (desktop) with 10G ram, with an Intel Core i7-3770 CPU 3.4 Ghz and only a 300w power supply. Just looking for some nvidia graphics card replacement suggestions. And should i upgrade the power supply. Thank you,

Jake

Upgrading the PSU is a good idea, even if you don't plan to add a new GPU.

The good thing on your side is that the i7-3770 can drive any GPU easily. If you wanted to, you could use a GTX 980 Ti.

But if you want just the right GPU and don't just spend, tell us what games do you want to play, at what resolution and at what graphics settings (low, mid, high or maxed out).

Depending on what GPU you choose is the capacity of the PSU you'll need.

I usually run simulators such as Trainz 12 by Auran/n3v (if you ever heard of it) around high settings, and a resolution of 1600x1200. A big part too is high draw distances. and also forgot to add, may run dual monitors in the future (not for the game).

In that case, a GTX 950 will do the job right and if you want to have your PC prepared for future and more demanding games, get a GTX 960 or R9 380.

Ok cool, Thank you very much.

I almost forgot, if you choose the GTX 950, a 400 to 450W PSU would be OK. If you choose the GTX 960 or R9 380, a 500 to 600W PSU wpuld be OK. The PSU you choose should be 80+ Bronze at least and from XFX, Antec or SeaSonic preferably. Those brands make very good quality PSU.
