Hi, so i'm in the process of building my first desktop and i'm still looking for a video card. I want something that'll max out any game very smoothly with no issues... I got a decent bit of $ to throw up on whatever would be the best deal. Thanks!

These are the parts I have now:

Nice little build, I'd agree with John. A Corsair 600M is a good PSU, but the Manufacturer of the GPU card recommends a 750 watt PSU. Also note this GPU is a very good card, however people are reporting that it's a little loud and runs hot. You can also opt. for a GPU like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125471 for the same price and similar performance. I'm not an AMD or Nvidia buff i.e. I don't favor one or the other. I have just built, rebuilt or been involved in 6 comp. over the past 6 weeks and 3 have AMD and 3 have Nvidia. In all fairness 2 of the Nvidia builds we had put in the new amd cards R9 270 series and one was DOA and the other had flickering issues. After messing around and trying to get to work we replaced with the Nvidia GTX 770 and no issues. Just my .02........

Oops i linked that because i was going to get it, but its never in stock... And i already have that power supply on order, do you think there is a way to cancel it from newegg? I just ordered it yesterday.

And is that card you linked above better or worse than the one i already linked that isnt currently in stock? Im new to all of this and dont have a pc(this will be my first ever build) and i just want to make sure i have no regrets when it's all done.

"minimum of 42 amps on the +12 volt rail" yeah i saw that, but I'm not exactly sure what that means, does the psu have that? I don't know how to tell.

Also what is the Ti? Excuse my newbishness hah this stuff is like another language to me, but i'm learning.

The Ti means it's better than the non-Ti. The Ti has around 25% more CUDA cores and a higher clock rate as far as I know. Which is good.
Doesn't mean 25% better, btw. But certainly a better card. Better than the Titan for gaming, unless you crank it up for 4K or above. And the Titan is $1000.

Yes, Ti is better version of the card. The GTX 780 by itself is a very good card. As for the PSU, yes it has 46A on the 12V rail. I just bought this same PSU for a build I did for work. I'll be putting it together this week or weekend.

Are you running it at 800x640? Because a 6450 will barely even run World of Warcraft on low settings at 1280x1024 :D
