Upgrading my system.

[SHIZZx343]

This is the beginning of my system upgrades for 2014. first im adding a Gtx 760.

 

 

 

Im also adding some new ram, 8GB of corsair vengace.

 

 

 

 

I have an old 9800GT, would using this as a dedicated PhysX card be worth it?

 

 

the specs of the new system will be:

CPU: Core i5 3330

RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengance

GPU: NVIDIA Gtx 760

Motherboard: Intel DP67BGB3

Case: Corsair Carbide 300R

PSU: Looking into a corsair HX or RM series.

 

more to come.

dedicated Physx meh... Unless the physx card is good you will notice performance decrease instead also so few games use it and a 760 should be fine. So I am leaning towards no.

thats kinda what i was thinking, just wanted a second opinion, thanks. what do i do with an old 9800?

Thanks, the recommended PSU for the card is 500, i was mostly going for corsair in this build, with fans, ram , ssd, case, and psu, if there is a good silent one that is 750W. i will add another Gtx 760.

You can't go wrong with a Corsair RM750.

the reccommendation is a trash 500W . thats a seasonic gold. your pc will use MAX ~250W and LESS in games . you will be around 400W with another gtx 760 so a seasonic g 650W is more than enough.if you really want corsair buy it lol. i reccommend corsair HX over RM anyday but if you are set on RM for silence go for it. the HX 750 W holds with ease 2X gtx 780 in sli + K cpu tough so 650 is more than enough
