Hello

I've been posting things like a noob recently, now the thing is this...
I saw EVGA GTX 750 on Amazon.com for 109.99$ but they add taxes (about 7-8$) for it, then in Newegg.com saw it again with no taxes for 109.99$ (yesterday) and when I log in today, it changed price for 119.99$ and 5.99$ of shipping too... My PC Rig:

AMD FX 6300 3.5ghz stock
Asus M5A97 Evo
Corsair Vengeance Blue 8gb (2x4gb) 1600mhz
Corsair CX430 PSU
Thermaltake V3-4 (Any of the two, I may be buying V4 or V3)

Well, since that's the only card I've thought as perfect for my budget, now I came here to ask if there's any graphic card with decent gameplay perfomance similar or a bit lower than GTX 750, and under 110$ in price. (No, I can't save more money to buy another stronger because my PSU wouldn't handle it, and I'm limited to that budget).

I thought of buying a MSI R7 260 that was for 87$ on Amazon and some more in newegg.com, but when I researched, I found that too many people have trouble with that card about black/blue screens and screen freeze stuff, I didn't want to risk with that. Is it solved already? (Note: I'm building a pc so I'm starting with a clean windows), did any AMD Catalyst patch fix it already for everyone? if so let me know just in case.

The GTX 750 will definitely do well. Its a great card, and one of my favorite budget cards. That card will handle any game 1080 p no problem. Id recommend the 750 out of both of those cards, but that's a personal preference. All those cards scale up to one another, so It comes down to which one you want.

A xfx 7770 is a fine card. It scales as good performance as the gtx 750 and the 260 and its 100-110$ It can play bf4 on medium/high settings 1080p 60fps no prob.

Edit: Its 92$ :http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127687&cm_re=7770-_-14-127-687-_-Product

I've heard that XFX brand is not that good... and to the other user above, is there no more black screening crashes and stuff coming from R7 260? that was my main question, since I've seen people have problem with the card from all brands, MSI, Asus, etc.

On the link I sent you is a MSI version. Theirs also other dealers that sell that card that are good. If I where you, however, I wouldn't judge a card by its reviews unless its HORRIBLE EG. 2 stars or less. Either the 260 or the 7770 will give you optimal performance and are two great entry-level cards.

Oh, I meant XFX is a bad brand because it doesn't last enough or so I heard, I just asked in case.
And I would love to buy MSI R7 260, because is way cheaper and strong enough too. My problem is that many people report trouble with drivers with that card, and I haven't found if the problem is solved to this date. If anyone tells me that lastest drivers have fixed the problem then I would buy it. (also, I would love GTX 750 because it uses less power consumption too, but well.)

Edit: that 7770 looks nice.

As I said above I'm looking for a similar perfomance card to GTX 750 under 110$ budget, anyway, I'll research more about R7 260 and if nothing happens then wait for GTX 750 price go down...
