So I plan to buy a GTX 580 next week but I have a few question about it and how it will perform with my current system.
Questions:
1: Is the GTX 580 worth getting? This is the exact one I'm going to purchase from the store.
******* GeForce GTX 580 1536MB GDDR5
772MHz Core
1544MHz Shader
512 Cuda Cores
2 x DVI, Mini HDMI
2: My PSU at the moment is only 500w so it goes without saying I'm going to upgrade. I'm looking at this PSU because it's available at the store I'm going to.
I'm not 100% sure if this is what I need to get so if someone could give me the (ok) on this PSU that would be great.
******* TX 750W ATX2.31 80 PLUS® Bronze certified Power Supply
AC Input 90-264V ~ 50/60Hz
DC Output +3.3V +5V +12V -12V +5Vsb
Max Load 30A 30A 60A 0.8A 3A
Max Combined Wattage 150W 720W 9.6W 15W
Total Power 750W
ATX 24 pin & 20 pin compatible x1
EPS/ATX12V 8-4 pin x1
PCI-E 8 pin x4
SATA x8
4 Pin Molex Peripheral x8
Floppy x2
(I will list below what it will be powering).
3: Finally will my processor create a bottleneck? My processor is a 3.10 gigahertz Intel Core i5-2400.
Thanks to all who take a look at this.
