Get a Geforce GTS 450. Performs better and it fits your budget.

How tricky is it to OC with the Asrock board? I haven't heard good things about OC attempts but that board looks nice.

Man, I need a new gaming laptop but I still have collect funds for it. Still, Bump for the awesome laptop.

No matter what my budget is, I always try to spend good money on my PSU. I've had a whole system become useless because of one bad PSU. My recommendation is save some money and buy a nice semi-modular one.

I never had GPUs die but I've had a faulty ones before, had to undervolt it. I've had fans, PSUs and mobos and RAM die on me.

Nvidia's naming sequence can sometimes throw people off but I'm glad it worked in the end for you. More than a 50% increase in performance. That should keep her happy for a while.

In the nvidia control panel you can set it so the 480 is a dedicated PHYSX card. You can also tamper with the monitor settings there too.

Getting another r9 280x would be cheaper but I've heard bad things about temps. Sell your 280x and buy a gtx 970.

That's a nice rig dude. Congrats. Just got a 770 for cheap. Will hopefully upgrade when Nvidia releases a new line of gpus.

Get a used 290x for 300. Edit: Nvm, just realized that gtx 970 runs as well as a 290x. In that case, I agree with everyone and say you should get a new gtx 970 or buy another 270x for CF if you're on a budget.

Went from a gtx 690 to gtx 980 sli. No regrets.

Make the upgrade man, you won't regret it.

My January build just got a whole lot cheaper.

Current fav browser is Chrome but I might give Firefox another try.

Hmm, this tells me I should really upgrade to a 290X.

Haha, this is great.

I heard these cards weren't really worth it. Anything lower than the 270 performed really poorly when it came to games. The r9 270 is too cheap to pass up as well.

I for one won't be buying this but hopefully the release means cheaper r9s. Would go great for my budget builds.

I think it's a great upgrade. I always preferred single card performance over SLI/crossfire.

Zotac has horrible customer support. I would try to avoid them.

That's interesting.

You'll save money with the 290 but the 970 is more energy efficient and it runs faster. I say to get the 970.

I would say its worth it. Games are becoming a lot more graphically demanding and if you have a 1440p display, it'll run pretty much anything at that resolution with a smooth 60+ fps.

AMD cards tend to run hotter than their nvidia counterpart. I have a r9 270 that's heavily overclocked and it hits the same temps as you under full load. I've even had cards than ran at 90 degrees just fine.

Awesome, MSI is my number one goto for GPUs and mobos.

No, I dont think it's overkill. Newer games are going to require a lot more powerful GPUs soon. Keep what you have man, there's no such thing as overkill for us PC gamers :)
