Hi Everybody,
After doing some research on GPUs, I'm having a little trouble narrowing it down. My budget is around $250 (obviously the cheaper the better though ). I was reading up on the GTX 760/660 but was wondering if I could get your opinions as well: should I go with an ATI, should I wait, or which specific brands would u recommend?
It's for my HTPC/"steambox". I have an intel haswell i5-4670K and as far as games go, in my library I have like splinter cell, bioshock trilogy, sleeping dogs, LoL. I thought I could get by with the integrated GPU, but even playing mark of the ninja gives me lag at times. Here is the rest of my build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master GeminII M4 58.4 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus GRYPHON Z87 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Seagate 600 Series 480GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Storage: Western Digital WD Green 2TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive
Power Supply: Antec EarthWatts Platinum 650W 80+ Platinum Certified ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive: Pioneer BDR-208DBK Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer
Other: Gryphon Armor Kit
Other: Silverstone GD05
Thanks in advance!
