Hi so I'm planning to get a graphics card soon but I was wanting to make sure it will work, I have a i7 950 and 6gb of ram with a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R motherboard. I'm planning on getting either Radeon R7 260X-2GB or GTX680 Super Overrclocked Edition 2GB or ASUS GeForce GTX 770 2GB... Would love to see a reply soon :D

Will work just fine but you left out a pretty important thing, the power supply and case size. Will your power supply run the cards and will the case fit the cards? Need to list those items.

Thanks for the reply, I have a Coolermaster Lightpower 700 powersupply and my case is Coolermaster RC-692A-KWN5 Black ATX Case, Side Window, No PSU (I think as i just looked it up on the internet)

You'll have to decide between AMD R9 280x and Nvidia GTX770... Both have pros and cons, but it depends on personal preferences to either buy amd or nvidia

You can run just about any video card then. The odd thing is how you ended up with a high-end system with a gaming case and power supply without a proper video card hehe.

Pick something from here for your price range http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-car...
