Hi

I want to upgrade my graphics card to the gtx780 but i dont know if it will run with my setup.

I currently have a:
Power Supply - Corsair Builder Series CX500 High Performance 80 plus
Processor - AMD FX-4100 3.6GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) 8MB Cache Quad-Core
Motherboard - MSI 970A-g46 970GX AM3+ SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0
Memory - Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz High Performance RAM
HDD - 1TB Seagate 7200RPM

Thanks for the help i appreciate it 😀

It might be okay. I can't imagine any FX CPUs bottlenecking the card.

GTX 780 is a 250W card on max load and will require 21 Ampere approx. A decent 550W PSU can handle the card perfectly. CX 500 is not a good PSU, so I wouldn't take the risk to run such a high end GPU on that PSU.

GeForce GTX 780 - require 42 Ampere(for whole system) and a 600W PSU minimum.

And your CPU may bottleneck the GPU, I am not quite sure, but it could happen. Other components are fine, nothing to worry about.

So it will be better if you find a decent PSU of atleast 550 or 600W. XFX, Corsair TX or HX, Seasonic are decent ones.

And if you can afford go with GTX 780Ti, better than 780. Good luck.
