Bad choice in PSU

 

[Godlik3]

Any suggestion for around 100$ ?

$65

 

[Godlik3]

Besides that, is my rig any good?

 

[SPBHM]

it's pretty good, but can you list the parts you have and the ones you are planing to buy? (for possible suggestions)

if you want to make it feel like a 2013 PC just buy some SSD...

I am buying a PSU and a GPU, http://www.acer.ca/ac/en/CA/content/model-datasheet/DT.SJYAA.002 This is what I have now!

Vapor x is more $$ than its worth.

Your cpu is locked so you stuck @3.4. MB is weak. Not bad but nothing to rave over. Reconsider gpu ans psu on this build

Actually he's stuck at 3.4 because of his motherboard. Otherwise he could overclock to 3.9 or 4 I believe.

 

[Godlik3]

IS there a way to unlock it? haha

You need a motherboard with p67, z68 or z77 chipset to OC.

How the fk is there almost a half million of those sold at newegg...

OP, if you're a gamer, and not going to OC, why not change the 3770 to a 4670 (non-K). Get a B85-based board. Better mobo features (HUGELY better than H67!), better IPC, better gaming in 90% of titles, ice cold at stock.

Looks popular :biggrin:

 

[Arkaign]

This is a good B85 mobo : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157389

Here is a matching i5 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116898

Here is a matching i7 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116900

Save money by getting this 3GB 7950 for $179 :

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127737

It's not the best 7950 per se, but it's really darn good for the money. Probably not worth paying a huge amount more for a different model imho. Crazy good deal at $179.

For now, atleast, I am sticking with all my stock, and adding a PSU and GPU. When it gets slow and old I think I will be much more experienced and I will invest in a high-end custom built. What do you say would be the required wattage for my PC?

3770 with HD 7950 can run on very well on a rosewill capstone 450w which has 37A on +12v rail. (37 x 12 = 444w)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817182066

but if you want to upgrade your PC in future with a faster unlocked CPU and want to go for extreme overclocking I suggest rosewill capstone 550w or seasonic G550

 

[Godlik3]

But isnt 444w low? The AMD website says 500w recommended

The recommendations from mfg are always on the SUPER SAFE side, to account for cheap Chinese tin-can power supplies with nothing more than a sticker that says '1.21 jiggawatts', and for the hoarder-type builder that has 17 hard drives, 200 fans, etc in there, along with an overclocked Prescott or some other idiotic CPU sucking 250w+ by itself.

To put a bullet on it, the Dell XPS 8500/8700 only have an officially '460w' PSU, but I've installed many a GPU in them that recommend "500w" without issue.

OK, should i stick with a 7950, or spring for a 7970? whatever one you pick, please chose a specific brand

depends on how much you want to spend. at the same clocks HD 7970 is 5- 7% faster than HD 7950. HD 7950(1125 Mhz) = HD 7970 Ghz(1050 mhz)

HD 7970 costs USD 60 - 80 more. so its upto you to decide if you want that extra perf . here is the sapphire HD 7970

[Godlik3]

what 7950 card would you say? i guess i cam get top of the line 7950. they are close match ups from my research, the 7970 and 7950
