Heya friends, So I have a gaming rig that was put together about 3 years ago. I have been adding different things to it over the years(i.e more memory, a SSD).
But because it was my first time building I seem to have skimped on the GPU a bit and I am finally ready to part ways because I am starting to notice not being able to play some games on higher settings.
I am just looking for some ideas on some favorite GPU's. Best bang for buck and what not. I did go through and read the article on GPU's here but I am still a little lost. Thanks for any help!
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE:About 1-2 weeks
BUDGET RANGE:$300-$500
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT:Gaming all the way, I don't need Ultra settings on every game but I would like it on the "higher" scale.
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: ATI Radeon HD 5700 series and a 750W PSU
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS:I have 16GB of RAM and a i7 2600k CPU
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS:I use Newegg a lot but if other sites are better/ have better prices I wont say no.
PARTS PREFERENCES:Because I have had a AMD card for a while, and I am seeing a lot of games not being optimized for AMD
I want to try Nvidia but if there is a AMD card that just beats everything else I will absolutely take a look
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920 X 1080
