New graphics card? Other parts needed to support a new card?

[SkinnyDips]

@Metal @shoiep Are these temps too high? and is it my psu that needs replacement or what?? Is it the cause of my pc randomly shutting down?? IDK[ATTACH=CONFIG]16153[/ATTACH]

your cpu is going to severely bottleneck any gpu you get

@Skinny do you think it shuttin off has anything to do with my psu or do I only need new CPU and CPU cooler

[delirium]

either a faulty temp sensor on your motherboard or the fire nation is attacking

I'm confused on what to get new cpu, psu, FUCK buying parts is hard.

Find a computer repair shop near you and get them to troubleshoot what the actual problem is.

 

If you waste money trying to get a new Processor, Graphics card, etc.. you could very well have the same exact issue as you have no idea what the actual problem is.

 

If you want to take the route of listening to the people on this forum instead of someone who can take a physical look I would check the heat sink as if it was done properly there is no reason why temperatures should get that fucking extreme. (unless the fire nation is actually attacking then godbless @Delirium)

 

At a certain point it just starts to look like you're spam posting instead of actually trying to fix the issue.

For the overheating issue, I would take All Ts advice and bring it to a repair shop. Best Buy does not count as a repair shop. It is best to solve the problems before upgrading because if you upgrade to new equipment without fixing the problem, you risk damaging the new components. Otherwise do a look over of your fans to see if they are dusty or blocked.

 

I would take a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/. It is the site I used when I first got into serious building and mix matching newer parts with older parts. A site I also used was http://www.logicalincrements.com/ to be able to visually see the different tiers and quality, along with a baseline of parts that would work well without bottlenecking. The third site I would use is https://pcpartpicker.com/. When you buy new parts, not everything is compatible. This site will allow you to have the parts listed in front of you, display the prices, and help you see if parts are incompatible. For example, your CPU is a AM3+ socket. If you bought a new motherboard and tried to transfer your CPU to the new board, it will not work if the board isn't also an AM3+ socket.
