What Card would go best with an i5-4670k for around £200

Teletubbies are Illuminati · Oct 6, 2014

Hey guys, I just built my PC last week and I didnt get a gpu because im still yet undecided (plus I dont get paid till the end of this month)

Here's my current specs:
i5 4670k (stock)
8gb ram
msi g45 gaming mobo
1tb ram
128gb sandisk ssd
windows 7
corsair cx750m

I want to next gen games like Fifa 15, Battlefield, Battlefront (when it releases) Skyrim and stuff like that.
Any suggestions for a GPU which is around £200 or an alternative which is a bit more expensive which means I'll have to wait a little longer?

Thanks for the help in advance.

A 760 would be OK, but it isn't going max every game. If you can wait a little longer, look into buying a 970. It's the best card you can buy when it comes to price and performance. It's about $350, but it should max most games for quite a while at 1080p.

You can also look into a 770. It should max most of today's games at 1080p.

I'd get a Sapphire Dual-X R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 384-Bit graphics card - Best your going to get for the price, and compared to the GTX 770, slightly in front overall. The extra 1GB Vram is worth it.

A 280X would be a good choice, but I wouldn't buy that card. It is one of the worst reviewed 280X's.

If you can wait a bit, the GTX 960 should be popping up with AMD 'Pirate Islands' cards shortly after but if you do need a GPU right now, then a GTX 770 or R9 280X is within your budget or slightly above your budget (~£215) is the R9 290.

Your slightly mistaken, XFX/Powercolor/Vertex3D are the worst.

The cooler is fine, the reason for so many negative reviews is it is one of the most commonly bought, and people who tend to write reviews are people who are unhappy with the product, the majority of people don't bother writing reviews.

It's a bit of a different story looking at Newegg reviews. You'll find just as many people who right reviews to say it's a good product as you will find people who write to say it's not worth buying.

I wouldn't buy that model. There are better cards.

Sapphire is one of the best ways to go when buying AMD, but I would buy a Toxic before I buy that card. Even XFX has better reviews than this model, and so do some Powercooler cards.

I would also buy a toxic, but for the price it isn't worth it. Don't just rely on Newegg reviews.

I agree, it isn't worth the price.

I don't rely on just Newegg reviews, but I would take them over most Amazon reviews.
