My friend need some help

[Korriban]

He have a new build with a 4770k and 16 gb ram 1866 with a PSU of 850w , but he needs a graphics card.

hes using onboard HD4600 so . he should buy a 780 DCU II or just wait a few months and get the new 800 series ?

Why an 850w PSU? You only need 600.

 

For the GPU get an EVGA ACX 780 or a Sapphire Tri X/PCS+ 290X

Cmon, what exact PSU?

You don't want to deal with one of those "950 W" explosive craps...:

 

I feel like having a PSU that can explode at any second really makes you feel like you're living life on the edge.

Oh ok. Since he wants to do that don't wait for the 800 series, just get a 780 or 290X.

[Korriban]

So it doesnt worth the wait ?

A R9 290 is a good choice, cheap and beast.

Enough even for SLI...

If he wants to wait for 800 series... isn't 20 nm yet tho, get 780

So the 800 series doesnt worth the wait for him ?

Nope, just go with the 700 series or 200 series from AMD. SLI 780s or 290Xs will last a long time.
