that makes more sense alot less power for a better card and not to much more plus im getting 50 hours this week for work so having enough wouldn't be a problem

no budget cap i just built this pc and got it running the other day but i want to upgrade from my r7 260x but anything over 500 for a video card seems excessive considering i spent around 800 on this (saved around 300 on black Friday deals ) i would a aimed for a intel based pc but i wanted to give amd a try but any where from 200-450 on a video card seems about right
