Hi all,
This is my first thread and hope you can help me
I have this computer:
- Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (DDR3-LGA 1366)
- Intel i7 930
- RAM G.Skill 3x2GB DDR3 1600 (F3 12800 CL 7-8-7-24 1.5v)
- Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
- Lancool PC-K60 Dragonlord
- Seasonic X-650 Modular SS-650KM (80 Plus Hybrid-silent)
- Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB FAEX
- ATI Asus 6870
- LG GH24LS50 22X SATA
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits OEM
The Asus 6870 is failing again (*) and i am looking for a replacement and i don't really know what should i buy, so:
Could you, please, tell me what would you buy for that computer?
I want to know what would you buy to search reviews and find what is better for me.
I don't post my budget because i want you to post what would you buy for yourselves if you had this computer.
If it helps: i try to make it last as much as posible as i don't need to max all graphic settings, and of course, i would like to spend the least posible to get the best .
Thank you in advance .
EDIT: by now i play at 1080p (i don't know if i will upgrade on the future).
(*)= i had an ASUS 5850 reference card; the fan failed. I sent it to support with the promise of getting the same repaired or a better one (they would ask me to let me choose if they could not repair it). ASUS replaced it after FOUR months for a DirectCU 5850 without asking, i complained because of the broken promise and they only offered a reference 6870. It failed... I sent it to support and they sent it back saying it was the same (it is not) and it was fine (it was not)... It is failing now... (this is a very short version of what happened).
I will NEVER buy an ASUS product again as if it fails they just don't care about it.
I know people usually likes it but this is my first and last ASUS product, and i have found some people that has had the same problems, so it is not that i had bad luck.
Anyway, you can recomend me ASUS graphics cards if you really like them, but i will try to find other brands with the same specs of the ASUS you recomend me.
