I am looking into a new video card for my younger brother as he is getting into PC gaming. He recently got this barebone kit.
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AMD 9 Series Motherboard - ATX, Socket AM3+, AMD 990FX Chipset, 2000MHz DDR3 (O.C.), SATA 6.0 Gb/s, RAID, 7.1-CH Audio, Gigabit LAN, SuperSpeed USB 3.0, CrossFireX/SLI Ready
AMD FD6100WMGUSBX FX-6100 Processor - Six Core, 8MB L3 Cache, 6MB L2 Cache, 3.30GHz
Kingston HyperX Red KHX16C10B1R/8 8GB Memory Module - 1600MHz, 10-10-10, DDR3, CL10, 1.5V, Unbuffered
XFX Radeon HD 6570 HD657XZDF2 Video Card - 1GB, GDDR3, PCI-Express 2.1, 1x Dual-link DVI-I, 1x VGA, 1x HDMI, DirectX 11, Single-Slot, Fan
Thermaltake TR-500 TR2 ATX Power Supply - 500W, 120mm Fan, Active PFC
He is want to play GTA4, saints row3, TF2. I would like to get him something that can run these games at high settings, And here is my pc, its old...
680i sli mobo, intel q6600 OC to 3.3, 4 gig ram, thermaltake toughpower 850 watt psu, and SLI GTX 550ti.
My two 550 ti's pretty much run all these games solid, and here is the question.
Should i toss him my 2 GTX 550ti and upgrade to a single card for my pc? or should i just get him a single card for his PC since it is newer, and if so what cards?? or something SLI or xfire for him? Trying to stay under $300.00 USD.
