GPU for my PSU

[jrsmith]

i have

fx8320

cx 500 v2

 

which is the best gpu with this setup? i was looking at 7870, 7950, r9 270(x), gtx 660ti, 670 and 760

Just get a 970. The 8320 will be slightly bottlenecking it depending on the game. That PSU is pretty good and will be enough.

Basicaly anything up to R9 280x (R9 290x will still run but you will be pushing it if you plan to OC) or GTX 780, 980.

You could really just get any gpu. At all. Throw a 970 in there

guys are u sure? i see people having 600+ watts psu with these cards?

 

and how would u sort these from worse to better?

7870, 7950, r9 270(x), gtx 660ti, 670 and 760

Personally, I would choose the 7950 out of your choices.

Yes the 970 will work no problemo.

A 780 would probably be pushing 500W, but a 970, definitely. Possibly a 980 due to the lower power draw, but I haven't really done my research on that?

980 would run on his power supply fine, however, if he has the money for a 980, he should up his power-supply and get a 970. 980's price/performance isn't that great in comparison to 970. Then if he needed more power in the near-future could go with 970 SLI since he would have upgraded his power supply. 

 

Also, if you have the money for a 970, definitely get it, will run perfectly fine on a 500 watt power supply.
