Best graphics card in the 200-300 range

Slightlynerdy · Jul 6, 2014

Ive been putting some money aside for my new pc build i was thinking about getting an evga gtx 760 would that be a good choice? What radeon cards would be better? What can i get for the most bang for my buck? Also i was thinking about buying a mid atx case i currently have a full size one and it is pretty big to transport i have an asus p5ne sli currently and a 600w psu 2 hardrives and will have 2 gpus in my case i am going to upgrade my cpu and mobo next month to an fx 8350 and a gigabyte ga990 fxa ud3. Will i have trouble fitting this and good cooling in this case? http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=11-147-153

You would be looking at a 760, 280x, or a 770. All of them are very powerful cards depending on what you are willing to spend.
Your case link dosent work, so I cant check for you, but as long as its not m-atx it should fit.

I only recommend this 2 cards.

R9 280

or

GTX 770

They perform quite similarly, but they'll definitely max all games at their highest setting on 1920 x 1080. The R9 280 performs extremely well for a $200 , and it also comes with 3 free games. The GTX 770 performs better and features PhysX. It also supports SteamOS.

This card all the way.
The msi comes with the best overclocking software and a great cooler to keep you running stable.
The msi gtx 760 is easily the best for this budget.

I cant afford a gtx 770 i can manage to buy a 760 i like the 280 because it has 3gbs and only 200$ but how much performance difference would there be on it and a 760? 3gbs is about right because i dont want to get a 2gb because future games 2gbs just wont be enough but 4gb is kind of overkill for 50 extra

The R9 280 is just as good as the 760 in my opinion. There won't be too bad of a performance difference and you should be able to run every game to this date perfectly.

You can see how the 280x stacks up, which is a factory OC 280 (7970 vs 7950)

The GTX 760 doesn't beat the R9 280

The r9 280 is essentially an overclocked HD 7950
