    Upgrading GPU.

    Hi, I’m looking to possibly upgrade my GPU as mine seems as it’s on it’s last legs. My current PC setup is
    I5 4670k
    MSI GTX 660 OC
    8gb ddr3 corsair ram
    500W PSU
    Windows 10 .
    I’m looking to spend around £150 to upgrade ( preferably a nvidia gpu) , I think I can get a decent replacement for that as my gpu is getting old. I’m leaning towards getting a 1050ti possibly this one - Amazon.co.uk
    All help and suggestions are really appreciated. Thanks alot! , Zaltor.

        That is a very good choice card for the price I’m actually going to get one myself

        Your PSU will be sufficient as it only requires a 300W PSU to power it (it doesn’t pull 300W)

          Great. I was a bit worried about the power consumption of the card but that’s perfect.

              I am assuming the psu you have was built with ample amps on the 12 volt?

                Overstock.com has some great deals… Might be able to get a little more bang for your buck here. But as far as what goes with what, you will need to wait on VGER or Jmarket to reply.

                  The PSU I have was bought from a well trusted company here so i’m assuming so.
