Best GPU Under $300

MadKingMidas · Sep 2, 2014

Hi there Internet, so my boss gave me permission to upgrade my work computer with a new graphics card so I can game on it. It's currently running Dual GTX 650 graphics cards. Great as they are for work, they leave a lot to be desired for gaming. I mainly run Warframe, Diablo III, Minecraft, Terraria, And Witcher 1/2 and soon 3. I'm looking to spend around $300, and am currently looking at a GTX 780. Any advice would be appreciated!

Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A
RAM: 16 GB
OS: Win 8.1 Professional
Graphics: Dual Nvidia GTX 650's
Processor: Intel Core i7-4790

Well,a GTX 780 is no where near the $300 range.
This one is an excellent choice:

All the best.

GTX 780 is priced around 500$
you could go for a r9 280X which is pretty awesome
and is around 300$

I've actually found a few Nvidia GTX 780's for around 300. I go through my brother in the Navy for computer parts. He gets large discounts.

Edit: The 780 TI's are normally around $500 when he finds them.

Can we get the exact model of the 780?
And a link,if there is one?

I'm currently looking at these three. My brother quoted each between $300 and $350

Either the first or the second.
I am a big fan of EVGA cards and PSUs,so I would go with that one.
But the ASUS is pretty good too.
All the best.

I've never used EVGA, so I was a bit hesitant. Thanks for the info. I'll probably go with the ASUS though.

No problem.

ASUS is a great manufacturer.Makes everything with top-quality from their laptops over the sound cards to their motherboards and GPUs.
EVGA is also good,but you definitely won't regret buying either one.
All the best.
