I'm not sure if i should get GeForce or Radeon or which model. I want some thing around 200. I plan to play Bioshock Inf., Tomb Raider, and BF4
This is my build:
MSI 970A-G46 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

AMD FX-4300 Vishera 3.8GHz (4.0GHz) Socket AM3+ 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor FD4300WMHKBOX

Corsair Vengeance 8 GB ( 2 x 4 GB ) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) 240-Pin

Kingston HyperX 3k 120 Gb SSD

500+ Watt PSU

Running Windows 7


I'm Looking at the Radeon 7850 or 7870... Should I get it

The important question is: what resolution is your monitor?

Also, what sort of settings do you hope to play at?

Some gamers want to play games at the absolute highest visual settings, and pay a heavy premium to do so. If you are fine turning down some of the more demanding options, you still get visuals that put the consoles to shame and not spend a lot of money to do so. I'm playing Bioshock Infinite right now with a $180 card I bought over a year ago, though not on the highest settings.

Still, for your proposed budget of $200, your best options are either the 7850 (1 or 2 gigabytes, just make sure you are getting the lowest price for either) or PowerColor's 7870 Myst edition, which is actually a crippled 7970 (a $400 card) instead of a variation of the 7870 architecture.

So, look up some benchmarks for the cards you are interested in, and make sure you are comfortable paying for what you are getting.
