I fell into some refund money from school, therefore i would like to upgrade my GPU so i can play games like saints row 3 and guildwars 2 on higher settings. The issue is that i need extention cables for my front panel connections and my hardrive sata cables( a right angles SATA probably), since my motherboard is very tight, and any large GPU would be obstructing/tight.



here are my specs based on speccy

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1

APU = AMD A10-6800K Richland
Integrated GPU in APU (768MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 8670D (MSI))

RAM = 8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (9-9-9-28)

MOBO = MSI FM2-A55M-E33 (MS-7721) (P0)

HDD = 931GB Western Digital WDC WD10 EZEX-00BN5A0 SATA Disk Device

My price range is 100-200$ for the new GPU and extention cables, any suggestions? My parts are about 1 year old.

Edit: power supply is corsair cx 600w. Thx for the reminder

Edit: #2

For clarification :


And the cards i were considering

ZOTAC ZT-90301-10M GeForce GTX 960 2GB 128-Bit DDR5 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

We'll another important bit of info that would be helpful is your power supply specs. Wattage at the very least and brand would go along way if you cannot provide model number. Power supply wattage/voltage is a big limiting factor for graphic cards.

I would go for the Radeon R9 270X. It may be a tight fit but depending on make, you should be able to get one that would fit. Just check the physical specifications to make sure you can get it in there. It also fits the price range.

If you had to choose between EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit or the EVGA GeForce GTX 960 Superclocked 2GB GDDR5 128bit, which would it be? Or:XFX R9 270 2GB

They are all posted above in the main post as links.

I actually like the EVGA GTX 960. EVGA makes good cards in my experience and the GTX 960 is good performance for the cost.
