[I need Advice+Help]

[MiroElFiky]

hello , 

   since i saw all these graphic cards on the internet [sapphire R9 380 , R7 370 , GTX 960 , GTX 970 ,GTX 980 , Etc ] and i am losing my mind , because all of them are been made with the same Memory interface - And Memory Size 4GB 

 

My Computer Requirements :

 

CPU : Intel Core I7-4790 3.6Ghz (non-K series)

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97-D3H Socket 1150

Ram: 12 GB Corsair

PSU: thermaltek 500W

 

I have Toshiba-HDTV 1080p 60Mhz per second and Sharp-HDTV 1080p 60Mhz per second .

and i am going to upgrade my psu to 650W

 

GPU that i want to upgrade it is Power radeon Hd 7850 1GB

 

Now all i am looking for is An Excellent Graphic card that i can effort and with all these models i am going insane honestly

 

what exactly should i look into the card ?

 

and which card is more stable when i over clock it and which one is more excellent for gaming , editing.and stay longer with me .

 

thank You.

Depends what your budget is.

 

$200 Get an R9 380

 

$300-$350 get a R9 390

 

~$400ish R9 390x

 

$500 GTX 980

 

$550 R9 Fury

 

$650 GTX 980 Ti.

 

Budget is the most important thing. Once I know that I can reccodmend specfic brands and cards

In that case go for the 380 4GB model, should be about $230-$250 USD.

Thank you very much ,one more question should I upgrade my power supply too ?

If it was me I would look for at least 600w, something like the Antec HCG 620w reasonable price, but something along those lines.

Having a bit of headroom is never bad.

A few things... What's your budget? "That I can afford" is not a budget to work with. I wouldn't get the r7 370 at all. Try the r9 380, and if you have somewhere in the 300 dollar range to spend then go for something like the 970 or AMD counterpart. You won't need a 980 or above for 1080p gaming as of now. Secondly, you should think about getting a monitor to game on. Also, all cards will be stable at the right overclock. The overclock varies from card to card and all will become unstable at some point. Finally, the best way to find out what to get is to look at the benchmarks for each card, compare them, and decide which one satisfies your needs.

I saw Sappire R9 380 Review And it's much pretty but GTX 970 won that card in the game performance, 

but maybe because both of them been made from different manufactures ,

 

about the monitor i think i can effort Samsung 24Inch Led LCD monitor or Benq 24 inch but i see The HDTV 1080p is much better than monitors otherwise i can get 2K resolution when i am doing my video editing .and i can go higher to 4 K if i connected both of the screens i have .i am kinda hesitating to buy monitor

 

what the different between them anyway

 

 

on more question about the SSD i have Kingston ssdnow V300 120GB i am wondering if i bought another one 120GB and merged them on raid 0 i think it would let me to put the coast different on the gpu 

[don_svetlio]

Upgrade that PSU - it will melt down with anything above a 380/960 - literally.

Ofcourse I will Change it now i am Looking For 620 or 650 and i am kinda lost between Cooler Master PSU GM-Series G650W and SeaSonic M12ll EVO Edition 620w , also i am going to buy Galaxy Ge-Force GTX 970 with New 2x SSD 120GB and i will merge it with My Other SSD 120 on Raid 0 it would Much better than having high price ssd 240GB , wooow this site is awesome so tell me what you think and also i want to know should i buy monitor or leaves my Toshiba HDTV and My SharpHDTV

For gaming it's generally better to have a monitor. This is because normally there's less response time. For example a monitor normally has around a 5ms response time while a tv could have around 30. This is essential for fast paced games like first person shooters.

SeaSonic M12II Evo is quite a bit better than the CM - the CM GM series are mediocre at best whereas the M12II Evo units are amongst the best PSUs on the market for people with a tighter budget that won't allow for the high end shiny stuff.

I would honestly get the SeaSonic M12II Evo over the GM series PSU - from Cooler Mater, only the V and VSM series are good - the other ones are iffy and could cuase issues if you overclock and or push them a bit harder.

SeaSonic aka SafeSonic, is probably the best PSU OEM around - literally everything they make is awesome and works without error.

As for SSDs, the V300 series have some issues with the speeds listed not actually being achievable IIRC - get 1 840 Evo from Samsung - those are the best on the market.

[MiroElFiky]

What else beside Samsung SSD what about KingstonHyperX ?

[don_svetlio]

What else beside Samsung SSD what about KingstonHyperX ?

exact model?

[MiroElFiky]

Final Decision Will be These Parts :

 

Gpu : SAPPHIRE NITRO R9 380 4GB GDDR5 OC

SSD : HyperX 3K 240GB SSD

PSU : Corsair CS Series Modular CS650M 80 PLUS Gold PSU 

 

Now another question i am using Zalman Z3 Plus  Mid Tower Computer {Could use cable managment or buying new case  NZXT S340 Case ?

i have 3.5 inch 2 HDD , and my cables behind the case kinda strugling i gues not sure of that

 

[don_svetlio]

That SSD seems better but I'm not sure - haven't really dug around about it.

I did some search for comparing that ssd KingSton HyperX 3K with Kingston HyperX Savage I found Big Difference Between of them Savage Version is Higher than 3K version which means it's more stable and high performance .also about the PSU i found it doesn't includes 6Pin for PCI_E16 , which made me go to cooler master GM-Series G650M , sound i will change the PSU and The SSD to these ones :

 

PSU Would be Cooler Master GM-Series G650M Modular PSU 12V 80 plus Bronze 

 

SSD Would be Kingston HyperX Savage 240GB Solid State Drive

М12II Evo doesn't include PCIe cables? Impossible - I am 100% sure it has 2 6+2 pin connectors for a GPU

Get a PSU from tier 2 or tier 1 - preferably.

[MiroElFiky]

You are right I am sorry I did not Look at Seasonic M12II EVO Full Modular version  , it has 2 +6 pin connectors ,yes , but is this PSU will handle overclocking on r7 380 ?

No problem - SeaSonic PSUs are the best of the best - they are in a league of their own you could say . A SeaSonic M12II Evo 620W will be enough for OCing and future upgrades.
