Can I Run This?

[Rebo]

So I have a

MSI A88XM-E45 

 

760K Richland 3.8GHz Socket FM2 100W 4 core

 

Corsair 500 Watt 80Plus Bronze certified

 

And I was wondering if I could upgrade to a gtx 770 or 780(I have a 750 ti that I love)

if anyone could help that would be great(also I have not overclocked or anything so everything is default)

upgrade your cpu first then gpu your going to have a hell of a bottle neck with a 770 or 780

Thanks wasn't sure guessing a Intel Core i5-4690K be fine right?

and also would I need to upgrade my power supply I do plan to overclock.

No, 500W is more than enough.

ok thanks for the help

500 should be alright, depending what else you have in the case

why not go amd and get a r7 265 or a r9 270/ 280?

its talking about what he wants to upgrade to but they're fine options

500 watts will work, but 50-60% of maximum draw is the sweet spot for most power supplies. I have a moderately overclocked 3570k and a moderately overclocked R9 290, 9 case fans etc.., and with AIDA64 stress test (everything selected) I'm still only peaking at 430 watts from the wall with an 80+ PSU.  a gtx780 and 760k will pull similar wattage, so maybe think about a 650W instead.

 

For bottlenecking, my CPU bottlenecks my GPU at times, but for that extra bit of performance its not worth spending hundreds on a motherboard and/or a new CPU just to avoid the few bottlenecks that occur in a small number of CPU intensive games. 

 

I would actually wait for the 970, because it will probably smoke the 770 and pull less power, even to the point where a 500 watt GPU will be fine. with the added color compression, your cpu will be doing even less work.

oh he is referring to the psu lol *face palm ya 500 should be fine
