Can I use same cable from my graphics card to install another?

[RetrogamerX]

I wanted either a Radeon HD 7850 or 7870 I have a gtx 560 SE in ther now. Is there a big difference from the 7850 to 7870?

My mobo is asus p8z77-m i7 2700k

Pic's of psu and graphic card cables.

I'm hope I can find one so all I have to do is just put it in.

I have £170 to spend

Thanks

I don't see a name of the psu.

Would I be ok to fit and power a 7850?

I would like to get a better gpu then I have right now. the gtx 560 SE drops frames on FPS, but is ok for others.

If you're using 2 Pci-e six pin cables now and the 7850 you're looking at has 2 6 pin pci-es then it will physically fit. Looking at that psu I'd doubt it have anymore than those two, or any 8 pins?

I wouldn't ever recommend putting a near £200~ gpu on what looks like a cheap psu though, regardless of the fact that it's less power hungry than what you're replacing.

What's the actual brand of the psu? (or is it unbranded?)

So would 7850 work with my psu?

How would I know if the 7850 has 2X6 pin connectors? would it say it in the specs?

On the name don't know?

I'll try to have another look inside. brb

I see the Gigabyte WF X2 has 1X6 pin connector but I can't find pics of the WF X3. Maybe 7850 owners will help out here.

Thanks for looking. I'm talking to the place I bought the PC from and told him the psu was crap and he's trying to get me a better psu and a 7850 card...for the £170 I told him I have. The PC is less then a week old, so I could ask for a refund. I think that's why he's trying to help me. He's calling me back in 30 mins I'll see what he has to say.

ps: he told me the psu was a cit? never heard of them?

 

[RetrogamerX]

Thanks. He said he could do a OCZ psu. 750w would be best I think.

 

[RetrogamerX]

OK here's what he said.

He's gonna replace my psu with a OCZ 600watt psu and a xfx 7850 card for £170.

Is the xfx 7850 a good card? don't matter really it's better then my gtx560 SE. Getting a better psu and a gpu. did I do good?

 

[RetrogamerX]

Is the xfx 7850 2gb a good gpu? he told me that the only one he could do for cheap. it's got to be better then the gtx560 SE I have.

 

[RetrogamerX]

A good deal. XFX will be fine

Thank you
