i play all the latest game such as fallout 4 and black ops 3. As for the screen resolution i think is the 1600 something one will go home and check later.

But most of the time i have a HDMI cable from my pc to my tv for gaming purpose.

Hi guys, i intend to go down to sim lim tomorrow to purchase the graphic card.

As my comp is completely pixelated now, anyone can suggest which brand of GTX 970 should i get and which shop should i go such as Tradepac or PCTheme.

Thank you!

Gpu sure able to fit inside your motherboard the only problem is the length of your casing.

If you are buying for new gpu would be gtx970

If you don't mind a used one would be r9 290.cost about 250 to 270 non ref design.

After awhile the pc is performing slowly so i try to restart my PC and i am unable to go into the windows and the pc will just keep auto restart when i try to go in to bios and if it manages to go past POST i encounter the stop 0x0000007b therefore i am also at a lost of what is happening and would like to build a new comp.
Below is my PC spec.

Giga-Byte GA-P67A-UD3-B3
i5-2500 3.3ghz
gtx 560ti
2x4gb ram
intel 240gb ssd
1tb harddisk
fsp aurum gold 600w

My Budget would be around $1000, i do not need OS and i intend to reuse the SSD, HDD and the new GTX 970 i have brought. And would like to add on another HDD and use DDR4 ram if possible.

My main usage will be playing games or high setting and plugging it to my TV via HDMI cable for gaming and watching movies. Would also use it for downloading stuff.

Please advice me on the build.

Thank you!

i'm no gamer...... but i begin to suspect it's probably ailing PSU that causes 560ti pixelation... & now new gtx970 problems.

or maybe try 1st re-plugin all devices' power connectors including & especially motherboard's 1

Can afford gtx970 but no willing to buy a new psu? :s22: Get FSP Hexa+ 550w below 70bucks
