No, you need to update your PSU before doing anything.

pls check if your PSU comes with any PCI-E 6-pin connector
if it comes with 1 6-pin connector, you can grab a 7850, it works on a 430w PSU and requires only one 6-pin connector
if it comes with 2 6-pin connectors, go for a 7950 (I doubt manufacturer will be that generous)

if non PCI-E found, here the CORSAIR 600w is on sale http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028
that should be enought for a single card up to 7970

So is mine 430w PSU? and if my power supply has a 6 pin connector I don't have to buy a new PSU?


But if doesn't If I get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028 I would be able to get a 7950 or 7970?

Sorry, I have no idea what your PSU is, but if you can find a 6 pin connector on it, my best educated guess would be it >= 430

But if doesn't If I get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028 I would be able to get a 7950 or 7970?
yes, according to AMD website recommendation, a single card of 78xx or 79xx requires 500w PSU, so the linked 600w psu should be enough

So if I just buy http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028

and

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150588

and change out power supply and connect all cords and plug in GPU you sure this will work with my computer?

Also for my VGA cable would I run it out of the normal slot or out of the new GPU slot.


What is the difference between all these GPUs they are all 7950

Yes and yes.

They'll all run pretty much the same, and give you close to the same hashrates. I usually stay away from HIS, XFX, Diamond, and VisonTek. OTOH, MSI, Gigabyte, PowerColor, and Sapphire are all good brands.

I would just like to thank you for your help. The Gigabyte has 3 fans so I think that would be better, I am worried about the PSU is 600W enough for what I got and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125414&Tpk=GIGABYTE%20GV-R795WF3-3GD ?

I have the Gigabyte 7970 with the same cooler, and it keeps the core at very nice temps. A 600W PSU is more than enough for a single GPU, so you're all set. I actually downgraded from my old 1000W to a 650W SeaSonic as it was more efficient.

And that PSU will work with my hardware/mobo? as well as the GPU will work with my hardware/mobo?

ABOUT TO BUY IF YES

THANKS FOR HELP

[Nemesis]

OP will burn his damn computer when he put 2 or more cards in there.... lol
