New GPU question · DIGIT-ARC

Hey,

I Have a Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L mobo and a Mercury 450W PSU
I plan to upgrade my Graphics Processor to a XFX Radeon 6670 GDDR 5 1GB card.

Will the mobo and SMPS support this card or will I have to do a full upgrade?

Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L has PCI Express x16 slot.So you can install a PCIe graphics card.Before you do that, you need to change the PSU.Go for FSP Saga 500 watt@2.2K or Corsair CX430V2@2.5K.And
for graphics card Sapphire or MSi HD6670 will do good.But avoid XFX because of pathetic service of Rashi peripheral

@OP mention total budget please

Thanks for the replys.

I'll look into the Sapphire/MSI options.
And I think I'd rather spend Rs. 500 more and go for a Cooler Master 500W from the Extreme Power Series than go for a Corsair 430W.

CM Extreme Series is a nice gift for persons who you don't like

Seriously Don't buy that. Get anyone of what Tenida Suggested above. Both are lot RELIABLE than CM one.

@op,
go for corsair cx 430 or fsp saga 500w and please avoid CM extreme series power supplies for god sake.

..nice sarcastic reply!!Good one.

@ OP - pay heed to forum member's words otherwise you would surely regret one day going with that time-bomb i.e CM Extreme!!

CM EXTREME -- The Extremist PSU which will led everything inside your Cabinet to dust by Suicide bombing using weakly designd detonator. :grin:

^^

..Boy the moment anyone of us sees the name "CM Extreme" the Chandler inside us comes out!! :wink:

..

Wow, didn't know CM sucked that much....CORSAIR FOR THE WIN!!!

FSP Saga II 500W is good too. You may also consider this.

FSP saga 500w is value for money product.avoid CM psu's at any cost.
