^^ your motherboard have a PCIe X 16 slot so you can plug in any GPU with PCIe X 16 connector. It has nothing to do with what, how much or what memory, bandwidth thing your PC has.

I am the night...I am...
i hav i3-530@2.93GHz.BUT MY MOTHERBOARD JUST SUPPORTS 128-BIT MEMORY INTERFACE......HD6850 HAS 256-BIT MEMORY INTERFACE....am i rite?

Motherboard's pci-e interface will provide all the bandwidth a gpu needs. It has nothing to do with memory interface. 6850's 256bit memory interface is for its own vram.

I think go with Msi 6770 and Corsair cx V2 430w or FSP saga 500w. That will came in your budget and if you can put 1 k more then go with Jaskanwar's suggestion.

@ OP - for the screen resolution you have it's best to opt for HD6850 - don't settle for anything less ;-)

I have 5770 and it can handle almost every games with decent resolution and i game at 1920x1080. 6770 can handle 1080p with avg 30~40 fps in almost games. and in some dx11 titles it performs better than 5770.

I never said investing on a 550W or higher PSU was a poor idea, but OP wants to keep the upgrades in 10k range. Balanced performance, is what you look at while considering budget components. There's no point of suggesting a 4-5k worth PSU with a 5k worth GPU.

@OP u can think about this ..

Flipkart: Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6770 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card: Graphics Card

and

Flipkart: Corsair CMPSU-600CXV2UK 600 Watts PSU: Psu

or

Flipkart: Corsair CMPSU-500CXV2UK 500 Watts PSU: Psu

This is well in ur budget. But i will suggest u to go for 600wt for long run and more headroom.

I never saw in any benchmark that 5770 performing better that 6770. Rather 6770 is better in some games, and a 430/450 wt psu can fulfill OP's requirement for this time but spending on a 550 wt psu is always be a good idea.

a 550W PSu would be an overkill for the cpu and GPU OP is going to get - a cx430v2 / VS450 would be able to handle gpus like HD6850 / HD6790 / HD6770 easily with at-least 6x 120mm case fans plus other components Op has.

@ OP - if you don't want to spend a penny more than 10k then get Sapphire HD6790 @ 7.9k + Corsair VS 450 @ 2.1k or else consider getting HD6850 for 1k more ;-)

If 550 wt psu makes u feel "overkill" in this thread, then why u suggested a 850 wt psu in here ?

don't u feel it would be "overkill" as well ?? lol .. :shock:

^^ Because on that thread OP has asked for HD 6950 Crossfire. And it is not at all overkill...obviously a 750W will do the job but if OP starts overclocking both CPU and GPU then 800+ watt is recommended.

And here the card is HD 6790 or max HD 6850. So a good 450W will do the job. However, 550W is not an overkill, OP can go with it.

for gaming it's HD5770/HD6770<HD6790<HD6850 ;-)

Don't feel shocked - which 550W PSU you have recommended ? I can only see 500W and 600W PSU recommended by you ;-)

they both have different requirements - dfcols71 ( HD6950 CF thread ) did not mention any budget and he has a SB 2500k which can be OCed very well along with 2x HD6950s - the power consumption will increase a lot when he might OC all of them using more volts so I mentioned what would be best for him.

But here Op has a limited budget of 10k for psu+gpu and OP's cpu even when OCed will require around ~130W and a 450W PSu like cx v2 or VS can deliver ~336W on it's +12v rail - now even if Op adds a 10k or below priced gfx card the power consumption won't be anything close to 300W so what he will do with a 500/600 which will cost him 700 bucks more at-least - so he better invest that extra money to get the most powerful GPUhe can and a suitable PSU to make a perfect balance within his budget.
