I was wondering... if i change out my AMD Sapphire Radeon 6870HD with a geforce gtx 780Ti will this work with my motherboard? and will i get a better preformance with the 780?


here are some pictures :)

Solution
That CPU would bottleneck the GPU pretty bad in intensive titles. And the PSU is not powerful enough too. I'd go for GTX 750 Ti, or R9 270 at max, concerning your PSU. Upgrading the PSU can take the GPU limit to about R9 280 or maybe even 285.


not 100% sure 😛 it says 500W so that is my answer but im still not sure :) is there any special way to tell?
 


so i only need to change my CPU to support the Graphics card :) thanks guys 😀
