long story short, need a new card
my budget is around $300
my cpu is an AMD phenom II x4 965, if that matters

im looking for one that could possibly run games with demanding graphics like crysis 3/metro last light at high or ultra settings very smoothly

ive been looking at this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127696

my only doubt with it so far is that its from msi, and ive heard theyre not a reliable company to deal with so im scared my card will come in DOA

if you have better suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated

@jack i usually prefer nvidias over radeons because of their reliability, or am i mistaken?

@super i had a problem before with my gigabyte and i had to deal with them instead of newegg

If the product arrives DOA or dead on arrival, newegg will replace it if you bring it up in a reasonable time frame (1-2 weeks). Obvisouly if the product breaks after 1+ months of use you will have to deal with the manufacturer.

I've had a GPU delivered where several capacitors were broken off (rattling package yaaay). Called newegg and got an RMA sticker I had to print and glue on and they replaced the product free of charge.
