Target is selling a 32" LED 1080p Tv for $79 and I'm either going to get that or get the 40" 1080p tv for $119.

But now I need a graphics card to do some PC gaming.

My specs are

Asrock z77 extreme4-m motherboard

i5-2500k cpu

650 watt cosair modular psu

2x4gb g skill ram

1 tb harddrive

I have read on here that Black Friday deals aren't that great, and stores are looking to sell products that no one is buying but I have been waiting a while to get a graphics card.

I just want a graphics card that looks good and will allow me to play most games at high settings. My price range is $100-$150 for black friday deals. If that's not good enough I may go to $200.

So do you guys have any ideas?

Oh and if you can find a 27"+ 1080p computer monitor for around $100 then please provide a link!


Thanks!

1. You shouldn't look for a GPU that "looks good". That's ridiculous.

2. Check the specs on those tvs (if you are planning on gaming on them) because there are lots of great tvs out their that are 1080p and all fancy, but if they don't have good refresh rates or respond times then you won't have as great of a gaming experience as you would on a monitor (or better specd tv).
Check for response times (preferrably 1ms but 2ms will suffice) and refresh rates (preferrably at least 60hz but 144hz is flawless).

3. I don't know about black firday or cyber monday sales yet so I can't tell you what will be in your budget, but if you can I would recommend the GTX 970. It's performance is one of the best on the market for it's amazingly low...

If not I used the GTX 760 for a couple months before upgrading to the 970, I would definitely recommend that if you can't get a 970.
