[Usaid]

Hi there,

I have i5_4 with 8gb ram and going to upgrade my gpu and psu thus shopkeeper suggest me to buy 550watt psu with Zotac Gtx760 2gb 256bit ddr 5. My question is that is it fine for the motherboard that can handle this card and psu or should i upgrade that too?

I can smell the stock clearing attempt all the way from here. Something like GTX 1060 or 1650 Super should still be okay before you need CPU upgrade and would have double the vram and way more performance.

Im gonna guess this is also his/her idea? Honestly any pcie gen 2 compliant board is good enough for you to run even high end GPUs, and PSU are standardized which means its MADE to handle the PSU.

 

Another question, what PSU brand and model are we talking here?

WHAT 550W PSU?

 

Sometimes a good 450W PSU is better than a garbage 550W.

That... doesn't make sense.

 

Wattage is just a number.  And with a lot of cheap PSUs, the wattage on the label was produced by a random number generator.

 

WHAT 550W PSU is "the shopkeeper" trying to pawn off on you?  What country are you in?

It depends on what motherboard you currently have. If you have an old prebuilt PC like a Dell or HP then it might not use a standard ATX power supply.

Also depends on which model 550W PSU it is they're selling. It could be a good 550W PSU or it could be some garbage no name "550W" PSU that can only output 200W before exploding. Just because the label says 550W does not mean it's true, plenty of cheap PSUs that lie on the label.
