Hi you guys thank you for taking your time to read my post, I am new. I am building my very first PC mostly for gaming and college homework. My budget is going to be 1200 to 1400. I have selected my CPU, which is going to be the Intel Core i5 4670k. My motherboard is going to be the new Asus Maximus VII hero Z97. I was wondering what a good video graphics card would be for this system. Thanks for reading, and have a good Memorial Day tomorrow!
First Computer Build.
