Oh, you said it was a Corsair PSU before :/Róka wrote:Okay, so for whatever reason, my receipt for my current computer specs doesn't have specifics on my HDD or PSU but here's the basic:
"Power Supply 800 Watt - Standard (I'm 98% sure it's this because of the model number: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817342033
I found 1 review on that PSU and it said it was decent, (and if it's been working on with your current computer) so it should be okay, I personally wouldn't trust it with close to 800w of load though, so if in the future you decide to get another GPU for SLI, upgrade your PSU too.
I didn't even realize there were 2gb 770s. I reallly don't think it will make a difference at 1080p though.knorren wrote:4GB vs 2GB, ok this is how it is!
2GB cards = fast memory
4GB cards = slower memory
If you are playing in 1080p you will never need more than 2GB RAM, you can find that in any hardware forum. BF4 is the exception since there is a huge memory leak in it so it really doesn't matter what card you use until it's fixed.
Over 2GB RAM is used for 4K screens and if you get that screen you need a better graphics card or SLI anyway.
IMO 4GB is just a waste of money and performance!
I remade your last post Roka and edited some parts. If you don't like Asus graphics, then go for MSI but you have to go for the Twin Frozr in that case.
I noticed the card you had picked had the retail cooling, you don't want that if you have the computer in the same room as the screen, very noisy. The Asus DCU II cooling is one of the best on the market, shared with MSI's Twin Frozr.
In the 2-3 weeks I've had my card I've never even heard the fans on it, and then I have my case open atm.

Get on TS some day I can explain more.
I've been building PCs since 1997.
Nope, the memory speeds are the same.
Annd nope, if he's planning on water cooling he needs to get a reference GPU. Though there are some reference PCBs with aftermarket coolers, but I don't have time to look them all up right now.
