Hello all, I am building a system and am wondering what hte best graphics card to get under $350 would be? I use dual monitors with resolution of 1600x900 and 1920x1080. It would be for gaming. The system I am looking at would be:

AMD FX-8350
Asus 990x
Thermaltake 700W
12 GB

Any pointers would be great in regards to the system and a graphics card.

Thank you

Consider FX-8320 for possible savings, since you can always just overclock the CPU.

Depending a bit on which thermaltake PSU that is, you might want to look elsewhere for better quality.
Antec, Corsair, Seasonic and XFX.

As for your question about the GPU at $350. 2GB GTX770 is the best you can get at the moment with that budget.
What kind: Asus DirectCU II models are good, Gigabyte windforce models as well and the same with MSI TF models.
R9 280X is a fine card too, but they are still overpriced at the $350 mark they have been at. If you can get one in the $300 range,
then that would be a fine alternative to the GTX770.

You can get a GTX 770 2Gb for around 330$-350$, and if you're willing to spend an extra 50$ or so you can get the GTX 770 4Gb edition (Has more video RAM, which comes in handy if you play heavily modded games like Skyrim and such). I have 2 4Gb 770's in my machine running in SLI, and back when I had just 1 770, I was able to play games like Far Cry 3 & Crysis 2 on maximum settings at a solid 60FPS at 1080P resolution, so the 770 is a great card for what you're paying in my opinion.
