And i would haven o problems with my current power supply?
>>51612141
anything up to 970 is totally fine . I wouldnt recommend anything from AMD though.
>>51612498
what would you personally recommend in the price range of 150-200$.
>>51612673
Well in that price range, do not expect running latest games on ultra settings , you'll be around med-high.
For my example (a cheap ass college student), I got myself a 750Ti for 140€ and it runs GTA V on high @ 70FPS. I know AMD fags would be bashing in saying how they can get more bang for buck, but that would be with a cost of possibly upgrading your PSU, because an equivalent amd card to 750Ti requires over 2 times more wattage. Also I do not want my small room to become a steaming hot airfield
I've been using a GTX 750 Ti for almost a year and it works pretty well.

I mostly care about 60 fps on medium settings.My monitor is 1680x1050 so Im assuming that would make the cards in the 150-200$ range suitable for me.So you would recommend the 750Ti?It looks pretty cheap.
>>51612984
Yeah, that is why I went for the 750Ti, best performance for price:

But that was over a year ago, I would recommend getting something from the 900 series. Either 950 or 960. But I also heard rumours of 960Ti so if you can wait a while , I think that 960Ti would be the new 750Ti

Ok Im looking at the 960.Are you postive these will work in my rig without any power issues and with the current motherboard?

Slap your shit into http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator or any other similar website. Generally, if the added wattages make up for example 400w then you ought to have a 500w psu or a little bit more
