Trying to find a video card for my build so far, I'm not looking for any suggestions for any other parts, I already bought them and installed them. I do malware analysis through a lot of vm's and the program that I run needs the ability to assign physical hardware to the vm so that is why I chose amd. I will simply ignore any suggestions on any other parts besides the video card. The main reason why I need a video card is for cracking the hashes of passwords. I also let people who visit use the machine to game on. I currently have a 5870, but it just is getting old and slow so I want to replace it. So I need and AMD card for under $250 I'm not spending anymore because if I go any amount over the company that I work for won't recommission me for the part. No nvidia cards, because cuda sucks and is slow for what i do.
Here is the build
