Well. I've finally decided to upgrade my PC, the graphics card and psu.. I was hoping for some suggestions on what GPU to get with an AMD FX6300 - Also a PSU to go with it.

I'm an absolute n00b at building PC's and I only finished my first build 2 months ago and put in a cheap PSU and a temporary GTX 750ti.

Thanks.

Edit: £200 - £300 Budget

My Rig:

GIGABYTE 8LMNT-USB3 - AMD FX6300 - REPLACING GPU - 8gb HyperX - REPLACING PSU

Get the best gpu you can buy and then pair it with either a 550w+ psu (for a single card) or 750w+ (for dual cards--ideally should be 850w)

This looks more promising. I do have the room to potentially get the 600w. Would you think that's necessary?

750ti is a noob card for sure. Word of caution don't buy into the hype. The 750ti is a hype card and is really not that great as the hype would lead you to think.

:| It's the best option for CUDA under 200$ and a pretty sick mobile GPU.

Cuda ,,, mobile LOL

It beats Gk104 is Floating-point performance and in autocad catalyst 12.

It's a better option than the 265/270x if you're doing anything but gaming such as Autodesk work and stuff.

If you need a workstation card than get one. For gaming AMDs option are better than 750 ti LOL.
