Should I get PALIT GTX 780?

[sdhdaniel]

Hi guys. Is 650W enough for a GTX 780? And is anyone using a PALIT GTX 780? Any review on them or should I go for other brands instead?

Enough and it's up to you.

More than enough for single GPU..

Palit brand not bad.. Been using it for years without any issues..

Not bad but warranty is 2 yrs still?

Ohya another thing is will 3470 cpu be a bottleneck? Its the cheapest gtx 780 I could find, $899 and that's the only reason I chose it. Any other cheaper alternatives?

What you mean bottleneck? i5 4 core CPUs are enough for most stuffs..

Some games utilizes up to 4 cores, some older games, lesser.. If you are asking about that.. Nah.. It won't be a "bottleneck"..

2yrs warranty doesn't make a good product bad. Same goes for 5yrs warranty item. It doesn't make a lousy item good.

I didn't say its bad but its easier to resell with warranty left.

Agreed, it's hard to sell off Palin without the warranty after 2nd year

if there is a choice to choice between brands who offer 2 and 3 years warranty , I will choose the 3 years for piece of mind and resale. I think the 3 years is only $40 to $60 more ex

Yup. GTX780 2 years down the road could still fetch $400+. As a buyer for used product especially costing $400+, naturally you would like to have some warranty left.

Just a word of warning, Palit cards drop retail value faster than other brands. So your $899 you spend now may drop to $800 or lower within 6-9 months.
