600w Or 500w?

[LazyPigeon]

I have Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) ram, BIGABYTE  GA-H55M-S2H  motherboard, Intel i5 650 cpu, 500gb hdd (black), and nothing else really. I am thinking of buying a graphics card (MSI GF GTX750 TI 2GB GDDR5 to be exact) and i dont know what kind of psu should i get! Could anyone help?

500W is enough for your rig but if you wanna upgrade later down the line get the 600W or even a 750W if you want SLI 

 

Hope this helps

500W is more than enough.

Thank you for the help! And another thing, will my gpu be strong enough for gta V on medium settings? I have seen reviews but i'm still not sure if i should get  MSI GF GTX750 TI 2GB GDDR5.

Lol, i ran my GTX 650 Ti on medium settings on 40 FPS. No joke, though my card died a few months later. So yea i guess the 750 Ti will do well.

I guess this is kinda off topic to this thread and i don't know if i will seem reasonable as i am new and i am not sure how to act here, but should i go for a really beautiful build but i could say i am kinda poor and could get it so quickly but i would like to show it off! And I am thankful that people took my question seriously tho..

It's your gaming rig, make it the way you want it to be!

I have a friend that uses a 750Ti for GTA and he runs it at medium settings no problem. It's a powerful little card.

You can buy an EVGA GTX 950 for just a little bit more money. It was $120 yesterday on newegg without any rebate but now it's $125.

And I am new to pc building but this is one of the most serious questions here, if my motherboard supports PCI express 2.0 but the video card is PCI express 3.0 how much weaker does the card become, I know it works but it isn't as strong as it should be, would it still run gta V or far cry 4?

It wont effect the performance of the card at all. Not even a 980Ti can fully saturate PCIe 2.0 16x (or 8x for that matter)

I will buy the 750ti in the end but how many pin connector does it need? I need to know when i buy the PSU.
