Reply With QuoteYeah Ivy Bridge, if I remember right is supposed to only be like a 20 - 25% increase over SB. If you get a really good quality power supply then I would imagine something in the 500 - 600 watt range should be enough with a 460.
Do you prefer dogs or cats?
MICROCENTER AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I'm actually finally going to build the rest of my system with my tax return, myself!
What's the killer video card the kids all like nowadays?

Also, that's EXTREMELY helpful. Thanks!

Wow, Tom's seems to heavily favor Radeon. Weird.
I always thought nVidia was a lot better.

Things go back and forth, some time Nvidia has the better card, some times AMD.
The nvidia 680 is the best card out there right now by quite a margin. It's brand new, but read the reviews.
I have not had any power issues with a 550W PSU and my 460GTX.

My current power supply is 400w and I was using it with my phenom and GTX460, but maybe that's why my computer doesn't work anymore. Sounds like I need to step up.

I haven't had a power supply that low in years, it could make a world of difference for you.

It's also $500. Should be interesting to see what the lower-end cards are with that tech.
Are these expensive video cards even necessary anymore? All the games are coded to 2005 hardware.
