Hey guys, currently overclockers UK are doing a offer on a HIS HD 7950, and I want to get it but I'm not sure if it it'll work in my current rig. The parts that I have bought are:
-650w PSU
-2 x 4GB of 1333Mhz Ram
-AsRock N68c-gs FX
-500GB HDD
-FX 6300 @3.5GHz or 4.1GHz with turbo

Now back to the question! Will it work with my other components or will the GPU be too powerful?
On a side note, will this set up also play BF4 at ultra or this setup but with a XFX HD 7870 instead of a HIS HD 7950? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
 
It's a 600w by corsair (non-modular), I am currently buying the parts (I've got the case, RAM, mobo, HDD, PSU So far) and so I haven't ran the CPU at full load no. What do you mean by throttle?

The model of the PSU is the CX600 by Corsair builder series

My 28 day return date has passed for the motherboard so returning it isn't really an option, so what would you recommend I do? Should I get the HD 7950 or HD 7870 etc...
 
No, the FX 6300 comes with a cooler and the case came with a generic fan in the back of the case which I'm not sure if it will provide any additional cooling to the CPU or not. It will blow air over the place (where the CPU will be on the mobo), so that may count but I'm really not sure! Again, I am still quite new to PCs
 
Okay thanks for all the help, it's opened up a lot of problems that I could have had! It might be a bit hard selling those two parts but are we allowed to post for sale items on the forums?
 
I might just stick with the XFX hd7870 with the fx 6300. The HD 7870 is slightly more powerful than the HD 7850 which I've seen works perfectly with the set up I've gotten. The fx 6300 and HD 7870 also can get around 40-50fps on BF4 ultra so, I'll still be happy! If I do a bit more research and the mobo and case are a bit crap then I'll have to try and sell them on gumtree I guess, but again, thanks for all the help!
