GPU

[Belbs]

Hey Linus techtips. Just need help with something. Here are my specs. Question will be after the description of my current PC specs. Be warned: it's kinda old (mostly because these were cheap at the time I bought them here in Ph about 3 years ago)

CPU: AMD A10-5800k
GPU: Gigabyte R7 260x Windforce OC Edition
RAM: 8GB DDR3
PSU: SST-ST60F-ESB 600w
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-F2A58M-DS2

I'm planning on upgrading my GPU to the Sapphire R9 270x Vapor-X 2gb as it's what's good and cheap right now here in the Philippines. Although I'm really skeptical because I might need to change my PSU, CPU, mobo, RAM, etc. I'm just not sure what's compatible or if it will bottleneck serverely or not. Also don't worry about my case because I've checked if the new GPU I'm planning on buying will fit and yes it will. I just wanna be able to play games with a consistent 60fps and medium-high settings. Also, my CPU as of this morning went up to 80+ degrees Celsius. Idk why. I wasn't even running anything other than my antivirus and steam. Note: using the stock cooler with thermal paste. Any helpful information and tips would be very much appreciated. Thanks! Btw your videos on YouTube were very inciteful. They're very informative and are what really got me into PC. Cheers!

Hey man, welcome to the forum!

 

You should be all set, your PSU can handle the card and the rest shouldn't hinder you in any way!

Thanks so much for the quick and positive response! Will update my build in the future once I can get enough money. Because I live in the Philippines PC parts are expensive. I'm a solid AMD fan and can't wait to fully dedicate a new upgrade to the Ryzen in the coming future. Again thank you very much!
