I'm looking to upgrade my GPU and Power Supply here in the next few weeks(Tax money, yay), but i'm curious, what do you guys suggest as far as GPU's? I want something that will play most modern games on higher settings(doesn't have to be maxed) and be in a good price range. I have a MSI geForce GT 640 right now, so it's obvious why i'm upgrading. 

 

I was looking at a GTX 970 from EVGA, but thought i'd ask around. I'm also new to the LCPDFR community and I will obviously be playing GTA IV and V on PC. 

 

What PSU do you guys suggest too? I have a mid-size tower and I am not up to date really with Power Supply's right now. 

 

Thanks guys 

I think the GTX 970 is definitely one of the best cards on the price/performance spectrum. 

 

I have one, mine is made from Nvidia, but I heard the one made by ASUS (STRIX) has excellent reviews. EVGA had some launch problems, but they probably sorted it out by now. 

 

For the 970, I believe it'll recommend something like a 450W PSU, but I'd recommend a 650W PSU. 

 

I have a Corsair HX750, but you can see all the PSUs and series they make here: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/power-supply-unitsCorsair is well known for their PSUs.

The GTX 970 cards are definitely the way to go if you want the most bang for your buck and don't wanna go for the 980. I currently run 2 MSI GTX 970 4G w/ Twin Frozer 5 cooling Cards. If you're going for a 970 I HIGHLY recommend going for the MSI versions which while also very aesthetically attractive have very powerful cooling with their two twin frozer V Fans and Heat pipes. The MSI version also comes with MSI Afterburner and an all new Gaming app made for MSI GPUs which will definitely give you an edge if your looking to overclock your GPU.

Awesome! I think i'm going to go with the 970, then! The one I found on Newegg has pretty much all good reviews besides the occasional DOA. Thanks for the input, guys.

The 970 is a beast of a card, and you'll have no trouble running anything with it obviously. If you're looking to save some money, I'd go with the AMD 290x as you can find some pretty nice deals on it.
