Good point! This looks like it would be a great option. Seeing how much power these cards pull vs what they are listed at concerns me. My base system power usage without the GPU is estimated at 188W, granted I don't know how much would be on the +12V rail. Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz...

Well I built this with a budget HTHP in mind, hence the lower rated PSU. I'm not a big gamer but was thinking if I ever wanted to try it out to decide on a decent GPU. It seems more realistic to wait for better cards in the future for the greater demand needed for 4K. Would it be even a...

If i put everything in correct it looks like I can get by with a 760 (TI). Is this a respectable card for my needs or would it be worth it to upgrade the PSU and get a higher rated card?

It's a CX430 v2.3

The PSU I have is rated at a max 32A/384W/+12V. What would be a recommended GPU? This will be connected to a 1080p TV so no multiple monitors at a higher resolution. Although with 4K coming out it would be nice to future proof whatever I would purchase. I'm not against upgrading the PSU...

I've been looking at some GPU's GTX specs. Within the specs are listed "graphics card power" and "minimum system power requirement." For example: Graphics Card Power (W): 250 W Minimum System Power Requirement (W): 600 W I know you want to add up each individual hardware piece to find...

Thanks for the help guys! I think I might have found what I need. I've been doing a lot of research trying to figure everything out (hardware and software). This site has definitely been helpful!

Dang! It looks like he had one as of 6 days ago... Well if anybody else knows a good reliable source please let me know.

Hmmm.... I tried PMing him but I don't think any PM's are going through. Maybe I don't have enough post counts? If anyone is willing to guide him here I would greatly appreciate it!

I just recently purchased parts for my first build. This forum has been extremely helpful in my decision making, hence why I signed up. Glad to be a part of this knowledgeable forum! I have the ISO file but am on the hunt for a key now. Where might I be able to find one? I've seen where a...
