Hello I'm building a new PC for gaming, I'm going to be playing games such as, BF4, BF3, NFS Rivals and Call of duty ghosts

So the PC specs are:

Processor: amd fx-8320 8core

Motherboard: asus m5a99x evo

Ram: 8gb crucial memory

Storage: 120GB Samsung SSD + 1tb seagate hard drive

OS: windows 7

So I have a budget of around £200 for a graphics card, should I get two lower powered graphics cards and put them in SLI or crossfire, or should I buy one high powered graphics card

So can u tell me dual or single cards, and what cards to choose £200 budget

For that budget get a GTX 760, or if you can afford £20 more, get the R9 280X (on sale at aria)

Either one of those cards will play games at maxed out comfortably just type in youtube "gtx 760 fx 8320" . But the 280X has 3GB of vram so it's more futureproof.

P.S I practically have the same build as you except I have the m5a97 r2.0 and a gtx 770 . Good luck!

Kamilstoch is right, for £20 more i would definitely get the R9 280X, it will be much better than the £200 range cards like the R9 270x or the GTX 760. Just check your PSU model, the R9 280X is one power hungry GPU

So you are suggesting one powerful card over 2 cards in crossfire/SLI

Get two GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB DCU-OC2's on SLI. They'll work better than a GTX 680.
