I'm building a gaming computer and I want to know what GPU i should choose, I'm playing games like skyrim and metro last light, Crysis 2 & 3 and bioshock infinite but not BF3 or Call of duty. I wont pay more than 650-700 $ But I'm looking for the best price/performance ratio! Appreciate the help!

Stian,

As has been stated in many other threads, if you're going to ask questions about a GPU you NEED to give the people on the thread a little more info. The more info you give us, the more/better info we can give you.
With a budget of $900, that obviously means that you ARE limited in what you can purchase. The minimum info that helps us is this:
#1. What processor do you have?
#2. How much Ram do you have?
#3. What is your monitor resolution and how many monitors will you have?
#4. Are you going to run stock or overclock ANY of your components?
#5. What kind of games do you play?
#6. Are you looking at maxing out all settings or looking for a good playing experience?

All of those things will help us out a lot more. For example, If you are a person who is looking to play games like FarCry 3 and Battlefield 4 on medium to high settings and good FPS, you can get something like a GTX 670 or 760 and have a GREAT gaming experience. Some people want to be able to max out everything on every game, so those same video cards would not work out for them. So, based on that example, if you have $500 to spend on a GPU, you have to see whether is would be more beneficial to buy one 760 ($250) and play games today and in the future on high settings and after 3-4 years, get rid of that card and then spend another $250 on another card ($500 total) and play games for the following 3-4 years on high settings, OR if you should buy one GTX 780. Someone who is happy playing on high settings would be looking at 6-8 years out of their two different cards where someone who MUST play on Ultra settings would end up spending much more $$ over that same timeframe. Just something to think about.
