So I am building a new Gaming rig and I need some suggestions as to which video card I should get. Best bang for the buck of course. Nothing too crazy. Will mainly be gaming, watching movies, and occasionally/possibly doing things like editing video, etc.

Here is the list of what I have so far in terms of my build.

Processor: i5-4670k
Monitor: ASUS VG248QE
Memory: 16GB G skill RipJaw

Thanks in advance for your replies. If you need to know anything else, let me know.

Go for a 2GB model, and cheapest of either make, Asus, Sapphire, Gigabyte or MSI.

I have the 7850 and uses my computer for the same stuff as you do. It will handle most of the games you throw at it but, of course it won't do Crysis 3 at ultra settings but is playable at customized high settings on a 1080P screen. It will probably do better if I decide to overclock it.
I have the sapphire 7850 2 GB DDR5 and I would recommend it. Stays very cool at stock clock. It's a good fairly priced card.

The 7850 is pretty good bang/buck. You could step up and get a 7870 if you had some extra money.
