Will my pc be able to run a gtx 770?

[igmarn]

I would like to upgrade my pc with a gtx 770 but will my pc be able to handle it? My biggest concern is the psu.
And if a gtx 770 is too much what wiuld be the max my pc will handle? maybe a amd 280x?
This are my current specs:
Case: Sharkoon BD28 Red edition
cpu: AMD FX-8320 ( 8x 3500 Mhz ) Octocore - not overclocked and not planning too.
motherboard GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P
8GB DDR3 1600Mhz 2x 4GB RAM
1tb hardrive
Corsair VS Series VS450

Im also not planning to overclock the GPU.

FX 8320 TDP 125 Watt
GTX 770 TDP 230 W
thats 355W, add 100 for the rest of the system (overkill) that's 455W, then it's typically recommended to go 100-150W over for overhead. So personally I'd be looking for a 550W - 600W PSU to run that system.

The vs450 might be able to run it, but it'll be max'd out. The VS isn't designed for high end gaming systems like the one you have. I wouldn't suggest using your current PSU.

You can but you will push your PC to the limit really. When I build PCs, I prefer to leave about 100w headroom so I don't get crashes etc.. I would recommend on getting a 500-550w PSU just to be on the safe side.

Thanks for the help so far! But what would be the most powerfull GPU what i would be able to run with my current psu?

 

[jimthenagual]

With that PSU I'd be eyeballing a 750Ti, or maybe an R9 270.

But don't rule out upgrading your PSU to get a newer card. You can typically get a high quality one in the $45-55 range. If you have that much in the budget, say the word and I'll help you find a good deal.

I have been using a msi gtx 760 now for 2 month witout a problem so that is actully already to much. But thanks for the help. The problem with upgrading my psu si that i'm kinda scared to do it....But i will consider it.

Neither the GTX770 nor the R9 280X are very large upgrades to the existing GTX760: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/gaming-graphics-card-review,review-32899-7.html
For now I suggest you DO change the PSU the 'VS' series are not particularly good anyway, good enough but not that good.
As has been suggested 550-600 Watts with dual PCI-E leads (preferably 2X6+2 configuration) will be good, and allow for further expansion (or OCing 😉 ).
Trust: Antec, Corsair (not the VS or CX series), XFX pro series, Silverstone, Seasonic, FSP Aurium series, Rosewill Capstone series or the much underrated Superflower units.

Swapping the unit is straightforward: First power down the system and remove all the leads then place it on a firm surface, remove the side panel and lay the system on its side. Remove all the leads, be aware the big mainboard 24 pin lead WILL be tight and they all usually have locking latches which must be squeezed to release them. Next remove the 4 Phllips screws that hold it in place and withdraw the PSU carefully.
Replacement is a reversal of the removal procedure.
If the PSU is top mounted be careful not to let it nudge the CPU cooler.

Thanks i will replace it then!
