    Default Future upgrades

    Hay hay, I built a new computer earlier this year with an older graphics card I bought last year (GTX 560 Ti 1 GB). My specs are:

    Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme 4
    Graphics card: GTX 560 Ti
    RAM: 6 GB DDR 3 RAM
    CPU: i5 2500 K overclocked @ 4GHZ
    Power supply: Cooler master 700W Extreme power plus

    Just wondering about whether or not the power supply will be enough for when I upgrade my graphics card (probably to a high-ish end 600 series nVidia graphics card for Rome 2 in one year).
    Computer specifications -
    GPU: GTX 780
    CPU: Intel i5 2500k overclocked @ 4 GHz
    RAM: 8 GB DDR3
    Motherboard: Asrock z77 extreme 4

    I think in one year the 700-seires will be out by then or just around the corner, you are going to want to wait for that series it'll be bad-ass.

    About the PSU, the 600-series cards are quite power-effecient compared to the 500-series and it seems that is the trend for future series as well. Your 700W PSU should be able to run a single high-end card and a sli config with mid-range cards without problems.

    I'll probably end up waiting for the 700 series cards , thanks!
