Upgrade GPU

[BoriaTV]

Okay so I've thought to myself that i want to upgrade my GPU to a better one since i recently upgraded my whole pc.

 

Specs:

i5 4690K

GA-Z97-HD3

N-Vidia - GT640 2GB

8GB's of G.Skill ram

550W Cooler master Elite V2

 

I was thinking on upgrading to an R9 380 or 380X What would you guys recommend in this price range? of these 2 cards? or should i just get it. , most likely doing this upgrade next month!

 

Thanks

The GTX 970 might be a better option, but if money doesn't matter, then go for the slightly expensive 380X

Well there's a 200$ gap between these cards lol the 970 and the R9 380/x

where i live the 970 is about 100$ more then the r9 380x aswell.

 

i would go for the r9 380x if the price difference isnt too big between the r9 380x and the non x.

That´s like a very small step up.

I can take a Zalman LE 500PSU but i think it would be a downgrade from 550W

It´s a downgrade in general. Try to get something that´s at least tier 4 from the list I posted.

i can recommend something like the XFX TS 550w gold, i believe its around 50$

[BoriaTV]

Well there is no PSU in that rank in my country that cost less then 100$ they all cost 150+ lel

[BoriaTV]

That would be more then my CPU currently ..

I might save up after the GPU upgrade for a better PSU - Seasonic S12II - 620
