im probably gonna do a 2500k build when i have enough for it i just wanted a simple upgrade for the time being, would the 5670 survive off that acbel psu?

 

[_dangtx_]

cool, by the time you decide on the 2500k it should be cheaper

yes it should be fine.

this one? NCIX.com - Buy ASUS Radeon HD 5670 774MHZ 512MB 4.0GHZ DVI HDMI VGA HDCP PCI-E Video Card - ASUS - EAH5670/DI/512MD5/V2 - in Canada
or should i get the 1gb one

 

[_dangtx_]

i guess it works but a little bit pricey. and when you build your 2500k or whatever system youll buy another gpu,again..

would this one be a better choice for only 10 more NCIX.com - Buy Powercolor Radeon HD 5670 775MHZ 1GB 1.33GHZ GDDR3 HDMI DVI VGA DIRECTX11 PCI-E Video Card - PowerColor - AX5670 1GBK3-H - in Canada

 

[_dangtx_]

nope.

 

[kanadien]

what are my chances of frying the 5670 on that 300w acbel(i wont be doing any overclocking)

 

[_dangtx_]

well, according to this itll pull around 50-60 watts which is low.

so you should be fine.

[_dangtx_]

cool,let us know how it turns out.

also, when you order your new pc, dont forget to get a kill a watt or one of those blue planet energy meters
thingies. they help a lot
