upgrading graphics card

rachaell

Hi guys,
looking for some advice about upgrading a graphics card. Here's what he has atm,
Acer nvidia 144hz monitor - msi h110 motherboard - Aerocool 800 case - i5 6500 - super flower golden green 450w pso - 8gb single rank ram- and the graphics card is nvidia gtx 960 2gb.
The problem with the current graphics card is it hasn't enough ram so isn't running great.
Was going to get a 1070 but only have approx 400e, can you advice something that would work well with this set up and good value for the money.

Mix-Computer are not affiliated with Hardwareversand AFAIK
They have been around since at least 2005 so they're probably OK to order from (assuming they ship to Ireland) however they do NOT deliver to Ireland:

Go for the GTX1070 if you can afford it. It's head and shoulders above the GTX1060 6GB. I also would not personally pay more than about €280 for a GTX1060 6GB.

OCUK have a Zotac GTX1070 for £349. Out of stock but can be ordered at that price - may not be back before Christmas though if it is for then.

Should get €80 back for the GTX960.

Was going to go with the 1060 6gb for approx 300e but then I saw the above 1070 it's 379 pound (430e) out of stock atm but amazon restock fairly quick.
Not sure if it will fit in the case tho(have to measure) and will the 450w power supply be enough?

Also saw this one on the American site, EVGA 1070 8GB FTW approx 400e
I'm worried about the power supply tho, the recommended is 500w..
Any thoughts?

450w PSU should be fine for that card. Only rated to 125W IIRC.

Don't buy anything from America as you will be caught for import tax.

Thanks for that, just signed up. Probably won't restock till after Christmas tho.
I wonder will the prices drop a bit after Christmas, would I be better off waiting. I'm cutting it fine as it is.
