I'm looking for a good gpu for my gaming pc. My price limit is $500. Any suggestions?

Please list your other components. And make sure to state the make and model of your power supply.

$500 for the graphics card? Or for the whole system? If $500 for the GPU then a GTX 780 for around that price or a R9 290. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125505&cm_re=r9_290-_-14-125-505-_-Product This is a great deal. This will perform almost exactly the same or better then a GTX 780, but with higher power consumption, and temps.

I would get the R9 290 since it is $140 cheaper.
