Hello everybody.
I would like your advice about which graphics card to buy for my PC.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Soon in the future.
BUDGET RANGE: I don't believe that I'll buy anything greater than HD 7770, so USD 110.
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming( Skyrim, Far Cry, Fallout, Bioshock etc. Don't play FPS or multiplayer games, though I'd like the option of being able to play them if I want to.) , Internet.
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: NVIDIA 8400GS 256MB, HP 80+ 475W PSU
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: Core 2 Duo E7300 2.66Ghz , HP 0aa0h Motherboard, 3 GB DDR2 RAM.
OVERCLOCKING: NO
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1280x1024
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I have an HP xw4600 workstaion PC. I am not willing to overclock my PC. I was originally thinking about buying HD7770 but I don't know when, or even if, I will upgrade my CPU. Thus I fear that the HD 7770 will bottleneck and it's value would be wasted. Which is why I need your advice to tell me of a better card for this system if there is one.
Thank you.
