    PSU Question

    First off, I'm no computer wiz and I'm getting help to put it together just need to get the parts.


    So I'm about to upgrade my computer and have been thinking of getting a GTX 770 card and a Intel Core i5-4670K instead of an i7 since I poked around a bit and figured the i7 isnt worth it for gaming. (is this correct?)
    Also getting a new motherboard since my current one wont work with the new processor and was recommended one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157460

    The 'problem' is I belive I need a new PSU to support the card, due to when finally finding out what sort of PSU I had they mention that only 2 cables (rails?) can be used by the card without getting an adapter into the picture. So the v12 current rating would be too low.
    This is the psu, it's a bit ancient: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cas...s_3.html#sect0

    Can anyone recommend a good psu that'll work with this? Or anything else really

    The PSU you have should work with your new parts as long as you still have the 8-pin modular CPU cable laying around.
    Intel i5-3570K @ 4.7GHz | MSI Z77 Mpower | Noctua NH-D14 | Corsair Vengeance LP White 1.35V 8GB 1600MHz
    Gigabyte GTX 670 OC Windforce 3X @ 1372/7604MHz | Corsair Force GT 120GB | Silverstone Fortress FT02 | Corsair VX450
