Help at picking a GPU

The Deathbinder · Dec 19, 2013

I'm planning to a Gigabyte Radeon HD 7970 3GB Video Card but i would like to know if there is something better that i could get at the same price or lower that could go well with this build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2mYCP

How much are you paying for it? And in what part of the world.

Wait, have you built them already or you're still picking out parts?

Im still picking parts

Alright bro, assuming this rig is for gaming! SHAVE DOWN on some stuff and you will be able to have more stable parts. Like move down to 8GB and save close to $80. Look for a different case and save another $50. & What the f***, $200 for OS. Wasting $100. That's estimate of $230 wasted. You could purchase Intel CPU and get much better GPU with this money.

HeyyScott :

It will not only be for gaming i will also be video editing and using programs such as photoshop.
I already have an OS I forgot to remove it from the build and Im planning on adding more stuff to it in the future so i was recommended to get a full tower

Just get the R9-280x then. It's the same card but cheaper.

megaballzdeep · Dec 19, 2013

280x are at 400+ lol its dumb

bignastyid · Dec 19, 2013

Get a gtx 770. They are ~$330 and usually a bit faster than the 7970 and 280x.
