Change the power supply. Change the GTX 960 to a R9 380 (4GB)

[anon4116]

Team green Bro and my pick has 4gb too and power supply really? Not gonna be overclocking

[HKZeroFive]

I'd look to adding a SSD. Alternatively, you could go for a R9 390 if you're willing to max out your 800 pound budget:

The R9 380 is better than the GTX 960 at this price point (around 10% more performance).

 

Your PSU is trash, overclocking or not, I wouldn't risk the possibility of damaging your components if it fails.

Get this PSU

^^^ Fanboy's aren't that welcome here and that PSU is for office builds that aren't going to be under near constant stress. It fine for something like just an i3 or i5 but not for an i3 and a GPU and up

[HKZeroFive]

haha wow most epic community ever really quick replies and thanks for feed back I will change psu but can you recommend me team green gpu not red ones soz for being fan boy

 

EVGA 960 4GB?

 

Other than that, the R9 380 will be the better buy but that's your choice.

 

[anon4116]

HKZeroFive thank you sir I might build your suggestions do you recommend any headsets for good bass and surround sound 7.1 after that build will still have extra cash to spend

Trust me, red is the way to go. If you HAVE to EVGA makes really good 960

Nah, I'm not really an audiophile

 

You're going to have a better chance by posting on the Audio section of the forums.

Clanscorpia ggwp I was only kidding I am open minded but been with team green for so long now changing to team red also can I crossfire r9 380 ? Might crossfire in future to make my pc look sexy

 

Not only can you Crossfire R9 380, you can crossfire it with something other than just another 380 if you wish, it doesn't require a separate connector as it works entirely on the PCIe bus, and Crossfire generally scales better than SLI.

Also, I changed from Red to Green a couple of years back, and now I am looking to switch again. It's really not a big deal. Unless you really care about Nvidia's proprietary nonsense.

The 380 is a waste of money to XFire because it is only worth in on a 390 or higher. And some stuff doesnt even support XFire

Some games don't support SLI either. What's your point?

I meant Multi GPU's as a whole
