Hey Guys! I am looking for a good GPU for gaming. I plan on pairing it up with an FX-6300 from AMD. I live in Columbus, Ohio and I do not do rebates. So just tell me what you can find thanks guys!

Okay, I've came up with this. If you want, you can buy a refurbished hard drive and save a few more bucks. This build is pretty great for the price, but being you need an OS really kills it. It's a few dollars over budget, but its completely worth it!

For that price, i can suggest a R7 260x or a GTX 650ti BOOST. The 650ti BOOST pulls slightly ahead in gaming, but it's going to be quite hard to find any 650ti BOOST in stock but as a last resort, get a 260x. They will both run you about the same price: $140-$150

The other case I was looking at was the RoseWill Challenger but no not really set on case. Also $650 is my budget plus an OS which makes it a little harder..

If you can't find any 650ti Boost in stock, get a R7 260x.
