Which Graphics Card for i5 2500?

sharatmath · Mar 25, 2014

Hi
My existing config is
i5 2500
Asus P8H61-M LE
650 W Cooler Master

Which graphics card will be good?
Budget is 150-200$.

I was thinking of Asus GTX 660.But I felt it old since it was released in Sept 2012. Is it still worth to buy it?

Thanks in Advance
Sharat

660 is still good to buy . i have it on my second rig and can play on ultra on bf4 and other latest games. . .
r9 270 is also good and latest but similar performance and almost 20$ extra

The R9 270 can be found for about $190 on sale right now, and at that price it is freaking fantastic!
But I just found a 270X for $200 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814550027
Which outperforms any other card within your budget.

I want to go with 660, since i do not want to pay 30EUR extra for R9 270X

Now i want to know which is better Asus or Gigabyte

Basically the same whichever is cheaper buy it.

And I'm sorry, I wasn't aware you were on european pricing, I wouldn't have given you a deal in North American pricing.

Thanks Junit.
But just wanted to know, which brand is reliable.

They are both pretty good. I'd go with the Gigabyte to avoid the triple-slot cooler on the Asus that weighs a ton.
