Upgrading my GPU

[Joint_PK]

Hey guys,

Im looking to upgrade my GPU on my gaming pc.

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 1GB
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 3.4GHz

I want to upgrade it to something better, where i can at least run the oculus rift on when it gets here.

What would you guys do?

Thanks!

Can you list what PSU you have and what your budget is and we can give some options.

Im not 100 procent sure on this one, i could only found the "recom" logo and the serial number of the PSU altough i suspect by the looks it beeing the RC-PE600Plus (http://www.recom.nl/downloads/Recom%20RC-PE600Plus%20Datasheet.pdf)

I am wondering what would be the best price quality GPU. I was thinking at about 600-800 euros but cheaper is always better.

OK so your PSU is only really a 430w psu (the total on the 12v rail, which everything uses these days).

Without replacing the PSU, a GTX 960 would be a good option.

If you can replace it with a better unit (a quality 600w unit), then you can go up to 970/980/980 ti or 390/390x/Fury X

OK, so i was searching and found the following:

PCU: Corsair RM850x
GPU: MSI GTX 980 TI GAMING 6G LE

But i'm afraid i might be adding to much to my pc and it would be better to get a new PC all together?

Is your pc a custom build? i.e not a HP or Dell etc?

Its is a "realPC" it has been configured for me. Its the previous version of this one: http://www.realpc.nl/computers/index.php/alle-realpc-s/pbproduct/hercules-6 (Dutch website)

Ah that's good.

Yeah it's worth getting the new PSU and GPU then.

Your i7 is still top tier, its a shame it was coupled with a pretty low end gtx 650. It will perform great with a better card.
