    GPU and RAM decision

    So Im putting together a intel build and I'm buying my last parts, which is the gpu and ram. Looking for 8gb and will probably settle for corsair vengeance.
    Using for Newer games, rome total war 2, steam.

    Heres what I've got so far
    Cpu: Intel Core i3-4130
    Motherboard: Asrock H81M-HDX
    PSU: Antec VP-450 450 W
    Case: Rosewill ATX Challenger-U3 usb 3.0
    HD: WD 1TB Blue, 64mb-cache,
    I already have these parts, and all other essentials.

    Next question - does your PSU have any 6- or 8-pin PCIe connectors?

    u probably want to go for a 650 ti boost 2 gb + 8 gb ram 1600mhz... too bad ur psu just has 1 pci-e 6 pin connector, there is a powercolor 7870xt (uses two 6 pin connectors) on sale for 140$ and thats just a nice price for that card.

    Try this setup, then:

    PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

    Video Card: PowerColor Radeon HD 7870 XT 2GB Video Card ($169.99 @ Newegg)
    Power Supply: Corsair CX 500W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply ($54.99 @ Newegg)
    Total: $224.98
    (Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)
    (Generated by PCPartPicker 2013-11-10 12:03 EST-0500)

    That means that you'll have a fully functional PSU to go with the card. It's a low-end PSU that has enough PCIe connection for that GPU.
