What graphics card should I choose for my build?

Deepak Bacheta · Mar 16, 2014

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

kamilstoch :

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

Achint2000 · Mar 16, 2014

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

kamilstoch · Mar 16, 2014

Yes. SLI may cause stuttering in games, and you will need a beefier PSU, then there's the question of heat+cooling. Get one powerful card, trust me you won't be disappointed .
