Hello everybody. I am saving up for a new graphics card and seek recommendations.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: When ever I save up enough for it. Probably around Christmas time.
BUDGET RANGE: USD $100 to $250
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, mainly Minecraft, GMod, and other steam games such as Five Nights at Freddy's.
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: My current GPU is an integrated AMD Radeon HD 7480D. My power supply is 450W.
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: My CPU is an AMD A4-5300 on a MSI FM2-A55M-E33 motherboard. I have 8GB of DDR3 memory.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: I prefer newegg.com but any website I can buy online is fine.
PARTS PREFERENCES: I prefer an Nvidia graphics card. It must have GDDR5 memory.
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: I run a dual monitor setup, my main monitor, the one I use to play games on and such on has a 1920x1080 resolution. My second monitor I do not use to stretch games across on but for any additional program I may have open or multitasking. This one has a 1280x1024 resolution.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The card must be able to run most games on medium settings with at least 40FPS. I mainly play Garry's Mod, Minecraft, and other web based games. I usually don't play games that require a high end graphics card to handle.
[strike]UPDATE: Forgot to add that it must be PCI Express 2.0 x16[/strike]
Best regards,
Gabriel G.
