    upgrade question regarding a gtx 750 ti vs gtx 760

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I ended up grabbing a new psu and the R9 270x. Ended up coming in on budget and the pair was the same price as the gtx 760 by itself. The cards seemed to be pretty similar in performance based on everything I read.

    upgrade question regarding a gtx 750 ti vs gtx 760

    My monitor is a Dell U2312HM, so it's max res is 1080p. I'll be looking to play new games as they come out for the next year or two with this card. I'm not opposed to stepping the resolution down to 1600x900 if I need to in order to keep the other options on the higher side. I just didn't know...

    I have an HP Pavilion which currently has 8gb of ram and an AMD A8 5600 with integrated APU. I'm in the market for a GPU upgrade and am debating between upgrading to a gtx 750 ti, or biting the bullet and grabbing a new PSU and a gtx 760. My question is, will my CPU bottleneck the new GPU to...

    Upgrade videocard or CPU on a $200 budget?

    Thanks for all the advice. I ended up going with an Intel Q8400 cpu since it allowed me to keep my current RAM and MOBO and save some $$. I figure that the GTS 250 will survive for another 8 months or so since I'm still using my 22" monitor with a 1680x1050 resolution.

    best CPU upgrade for an LGA775 socket from my E5200

    I have a Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L. I just went ahead and ordered the Q8400 CPU since I don't have a microcenter around me that has the Q9550 in stock.

    Upgrade videocard or CPU on a $200 budget?

    So, is the general concensus that I should stick with my current videocard and upgrade my CPU to either a faster intel chip or AMD & MOBO?

    best CPU upgrade for an LGA775 socket from my E5200

    I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and don't want to upgrade my MOBO and RAM just yet, so I'm wondering what my best option would be. I've OC'ed my E5200, but it craps out at 3ghz even with all of the usual voltage & timing tweaks. I don't want to spend a ton of cash, but I'd be OK spending...

    Upgrade videocard or CPU on a $200 budget?

    I've got the E5200 overclocked to 3ghz, but it craps out if I take it any higher.

    Upgrade videocard or CPU on a $200 budget?

    Looking to do an upgrade and was wondering what would be more beneficial? I'm looking to spend around $200. My current system has 4GB DDR2 RAM, GTS250 videocard, and an Intel E5200 CPU. I also have a Corsair 450VX 450W PSU, and I'm not going to want to replace that right now, so please take...

    BFG GTS250 vs BFG GTX260 Maxcore OC

    Great comparison. Thanks for doing the work on that. Definitly answers the question I had posted in your RMA thread. Looks like the GTX 260 will be worth it as an upgrade to my 250.

    BFG RMA process, follow along!

    If you have the time, that would be awesome. It's obviously not crucial information, but it would give me a great idea on whether or not it's worth doing the step-up in the next month or so. I really appreciate it.

    What is the best PSU for around $50 for my system?

    I just ended up sucking it up and ordering a Corsair 450VX from newegg this afternoon. Everything I read about it was glowing, and I found multiple threads on this forum and the jonnyguru forums stating that it would run the GTX 260 and then some with absolutly no problem. Thanks for all the...
