Hi guys first post here. I'm trying to build my first PC for gaming and video recording/editing.
Wanting to run Battlefield and Minecraft like everyone else.

Here's my components:
AMD FX-6300
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P

Need suggestions on a graphics card! Budget is around $220-230

Read a few posts about the Radeon R9 series but wanted to get the input from you guys!

Thanks in advance!

I'd say go with the R9 280 and overclock that cpu..

Edit: Might want to go with the 760 because of Shadowplay which should help in fps.. (recording thingy like fraps)

I was thinking maybe I would try OCing it to around 4 GHz if it would let me. I can get the R9 270x for around $170 and the 280x for $190. Both are Sapphire cards if that makes a difference?
