iliad Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 i am thinking of selling my old monitors to get a new monitor ( the one i have now is a old hp 1680x1050 one) Im pretty happy with this monitor but hd would be pretty cool. The only reason I want a new graphics card is that I'll be kinda future proofed but i will need a new psu budget around £160-200 max (i am not rich, i am rafi) my specs so far- i7 3770k 16gb ram 560ti (asus fancy one) loads of hard drives for random stuff 450watt psu ( i think) if you can help me guys i would be pretty happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 You're gonna want to upgrade the GPU, PSU, and monitor (I'm assuming it's a junky psu since you don't even know what it is) But the GPU and PSU first: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Video Card: PowerColor Radeon R9 380 4GB PCS+ Video Card (£159.34 @ Ebuyer) Power Supply: XFX TS 550W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply (£37.99 @ Amazon UK) Total: £197.33 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2015-09-19 21:49 BST+0100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Thanks! also I have a question is the 380 basically a 290? The R9 380 is a refreshed R9 285 (the R9 390 is a refreshed version of the R9 290 but with 8gb of VRAM). By refreshed, I mean it's exactly the same except overtime AMD has gotten their yields a bit better and are selling the 300 variants with a slight base clock bump (and usually slightly more overclocking headroom).
