Hello everyone! Im new to this website sorry if i do anything wrong.

So i am building myself a custom computer and i have 475$ For a graphics card. So far i am looking at the, EVGA GeForce Gtx 670 4096mb Superclocked. For exactly 475$ By the way here is my specs.

Amd Fx 8350 Fishera Piledriver.

8 Gb HyperX 2133Mhz ram.

(And i have a motherboard and all the other stuff that is perfectly capable, And i do have 2x6 pin power connectors so i can expand my range.)

So really i need to know what is the best i can get without any bottlenecks with my processor! I dont know much at all about the radeon's but can someone give me some help! Thank you everyone!

I like your selection. Normally, I would say that 4GB of VRAM on your video card is more than you need for a normal monitor resolution. I'm starting to come around to the idea that more RAM is good in order to be a little more future proof with the new games coming out.

I really like the GTX 670, which is the biggest selling high-end video card on the market.

What is your monitor resolution?

I have a 1080p DVI Monitor. By the way thank you for taking time!

 
The GTX 670 is perfect for that resolution. If you wanted to save some money, you could go for the 2GB version. At this point, the only games that use more than that are Crysis 3 with all settings turned up high and Skyrim, if you install user-created mods. The GTX 670 comes with a free copy of Metro: Last Light right now as well.
