Will this be good enough for a mid - extreme gaming setup? My setup is - asus sabertooth Z87 - USB 3.0 expansion slot - EVGA GeForce GTX 580 FTW Hydro Copper 2 3072 MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 2DVI/Mini-HDMI SLI Ready Limited Lifetime Warranty Graphics...

Yes this will work for you. You could even use a 600 one but I personally use this one.

Yes, I'm running an i7-2600K OC'd to 4G, with 2 Sapphire 7770's in crossfire and 3HD's and 2 SSD's, but u need to calculate your total load to see if this is big enough. I have not had any problems. I am not a heavy gamer, so can't comment on how it will do for gaming.

yes. the power-supply you have is a little less than what i have in my build with this, but this card doesn't need it it is very efficient. i will say that if possible remove all drivers from you're radion afterwards they often don't play nice with any nvidia things though its mostly a problem of an ati card freeking because of prior nvidia install not the other way, but still better safe that sorry. i love this card and i'm sure you will too. also nvidia just put out new drivers for it that gave me a 8% boost across the board if that helps. :)

This is a high end power supply for high end builds, granted you could use it in any system though it may be over kill. Runs pretty damn quiet and no power issues from it, just make sure you get the PSU you need for your power requirements. Put another way, if you are spending 400-4000 on video card(s), 3-4 hundred on a mother board and 200-1000 on memory chips you are talking enthusiastic. Plus you don't have to have a dozen cables tied out of your way as it is modular and you just plug in the cables you need to meet your power needs. I have been running my system 24/7 for 2 years now and no issues no matter what stresses I have put on it for gaming, rendering or just everyday simple use.

Hey Ronel, I have a 750 watt power supply that I am using with this card. However, a standard power supply one with no less than 350 watts should be enough to run the card with no problems. I would recommend getting a 400 to 450 watt power supply if you will be using this card for gaming.

The 8800GT is ancient, if you want a modern architecture but bang for your buck GPU I'd go for the GeForce GTX 750Ti. It doesn't require any additional power so just plug and play. It'll work with your asus motherboard.

It is SLI ready for sure, but I would check the power draw on sli 770s first. I'm currently running an over-volted fx-8350 with an R9 280x overclocked and it is perfectly stable. According to an article I read awhile back, the wattage requirement listed with the card regards to the maximum draw when over volted, so you don't actually need near as much. Try posting on Tomshardware.com to see if anyone has run it with sli.

Although I got this motherboard a while ago, I still haven't finished assembly (the instructions are hard to follow). The motherboard can hold 4 RAM cards and one gpu and seems fairly organized. I have no idea about it's gaming capabilities but that is why I got it so I may be able to tell you soon!

Should be, it's a middle ground card, will be able to run most games just not on highest settings.

Actually, surprisingly good. Although, what you'll really want to partner with this is a good GPU... unless you're planning on focusing more on CPU intensive games like WoW, then you'll be okay with a middle of the road GPU. I've been playing Titanfall, Assassins Creed: Black flag, BF4, (as well as some older titles) and my fps is definitely playable and pleasing to the eyes (running everything 1080p and maxed settings). I have this CPU partnered with a GTX 760 2GB... soon to be an SLI setup. Hope that helps!

I think you should be good, even with overclocking. I have Asrock Z97 extreme 4, i5-4690k, GTX 980,16Gb 2x8Gb. I bought a EVGA 850 that is way more then I needed. But its there if I want to run two video cards.

It's handled a 780TI, a 4570k OC'd to 4.5, and multiple outbound power draws (external hdds, iphone, microphones, etc...) without a hiccup for months. I imagine you could SLI/Crossfire any card combo and run a stable system without a problem. Tri-card and further setups might need a little more juice, depending on the cards you go with.

Yeah, I think that your setup is good. I haven't had great luck with Msi motherboards, but I have typically bought the lower end ones. Your ram is perfect for now, but won't be enough in about a year.

Yes I believe that you should be fine. I have a previous version of that set up and it has the gtx 670. I haven't found a game it won't run.

Oh ya, that will work well. That motherboard could support 2 of these behemoth cards. I have one and it kicks a**. Comparable to a 780. Really awesome.

It will only work in 1x no matter what. You will have a bad gaming experience due to the bottleneck. With that said it is good enough to run a second monitor for a 2d desktop. But in my experience only 2 out of 3 of my motherboards will even recognize the video card on the express extension. And all my boards are Asus
