Which 770 to purchase?

[Zny]

Hey guys. Just looking for a little bit of advice on what GPU to purchase. Just wondering what's the difference between these two GPUs and which one I should purchase. This or This. I also need to get a new PSU for this card. Can someone recommend a modular PSU that would do either of these 770s

Depends one has more airflows into the case. Other case more directed airflow towards fin array with removeable dust technology .

Whichever's cheaper. Right now I would say Gigabyte. PSU? anything fron corsair, seasonic, fractal, nzxt etc. 

Alright sweet. What about the likes of this for a PSU? I am looking at making my pc a bit more quiet

Lightning, but that's just my opinion.

^ this. I picked up an open box Gigabyte Windforce this morning with rebate for 279 at microcenter or something this morning.

 

They are on sale for 329.99 there and like 339.99 on newegg. It runs very cool and very quiet and can OC to near 780 ref speeds. At stock any decent 600W with 42 on the 12v is enough. To OC it you want a bit more. This is with normal fans, a couple hd's and a blue ray. If you have more then that? Go a little higher or with a top notch brand  like a seasonic.

 

This is with a 4770k. If you have an AMD cpu OC? Well they use more power. You might want something a little higher then that on the PSU.

 

My cx600m is driving the card with an oc, my chip at the voltage in my sig and a hd, blu ray just fine. I don't know if I would recommend something this low, but the Nvidia cards seem to be pretty damn good on power usage. Cx 600m was like 50 bucks on sale  or something and modular. Only reason I bought it. CX are pretty cheap. Any better brand 600w with something like 48 50 on the 12 v rail would run this setup with ease.

Lightning for sure and you shouldn't need anything over a 650w PSU depending on what your running.

My psu is a Corsair GS500W I'm guessing wont be enough to run either card.

It's enough.

Gaming series aren't bad at all. They recommend 42 on the 12v at the reference speeds and yours is 39. This is probably generous (42). It is probably enough if you have a single hd, a ivy or haswell and not oc ot to the moon, with a butt load of fans.

 

If you found a game that maxed out the CPU AND GPU it probably wouldn't fly, but I don't think that game exists.

 

I would give it a shot. If you were getting the r9 280x? I would say no. It uses quite a bit more power. The 770's are pretty damn good on power.
