Need input

[Scottagecheeze]

So I just bought a Maximus V Forumla and I am looking into getting a GTX 670. Does anyone have any other suggestions that might be a better fit?

Thanks

You would have to be more specific in what you need. But if you're asking if the 670 would go well with the board the answer is yes and always yes. Just make sure you have power supply that has enough wattage to power the 670. A 600w power supply would be enough. Besides that what other suggestions do you need

Having an Ivy Bridge (3rd Gen CPU) will also be beneficial to having a 670, but yes, please fill us in on the rest of your build and budget.

Everything fits. if it hase a PCIe interface, it will work.

and nothing works better then something else, unless you take a 680 or 7970. but that will be obvious :P

Sorry for not including everything else, I am new to this. So here is the full build so far:

Case: Corsair Vengeance C70 (bought)

CPU: i7 3770k (bought)

Mobo: Maximus V Forumla

Graphics: eVGA GTX 670

I need some help with RAM and power supply. For power supply I was thinking about getting a 800-850 watt. As for my budget any changes would need to be close to the same price as to what I was looking at. Help is appreciated, thanks guys.

If you do not plan to SLI / CFX 650W will be fine. As for the looks of it now and the prices, the HD7970 will be a better fps / $ ratio.

The 7970 is right out of my budget

670 is great. 680 is better, but 670 is sufficient.

Go with a 680. I would say 670 if you bought a 3570k.

Weird, here the 7970 and the 670 are pretty much the same price +/- 20$

"I would say 670 if you bought a 3570k" What precisely is that supposed to mean? A 3570k will not bottleneck a 670.

I need some help with RAM and power supply.

Well if you're just going to use your computer for just gaming and other less RAM intense applications then a 8 GB kit will do you fine. I recommend G.SKILL Snipers or CORSAIR Vengeance.

On the other hand if you're going to be running multiple VMs then you'll probably needs somewhere around 16 GB to 32 GB depending on how intense you set those VMs to be.
