you want advice on a gtx card? well, it depends on your budget. a gtx 760 or 770 will do fine, also you will want 8 gb of ram and i5 cpu.

a GTX 750 Ti will be the best option here as it won't be bottlenecked and will work with that PSU without any problems

okays thanks em would need i5 ? just budget wise could get but is it worth the extra ?

Danbuscus25 · Feb 27, 2014

well, i3 may bottleneck 760 and higher, and i5 should be fine with any single gtx card. its up to you how important very high and ultra graphics settings are to you, and if you want to save some money the i3 and gtx 760 should do just finee with high and maybe very high settings. but if you want ultra high, then you will need an i5 and gtx 770 ish

if you got the i5 then you won't notice a performance difference until you get a gtx 760 which will mak you change the PSU too
what is your budget

That motherboard will not work with that CPU. They are of two different sockets. You need an 1150 motherboard. This one would work. http://us.ncix.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&sku=89558&vpn=H81M-A&manufacture=ASUS&promoid=1064

I also agree that a GTX 750ti is a good choice to pair up with that cpu. An HD 7870 or R9 270 would be about the highest I would go. I also would want 8gb of ram.
