Hi, I'm having an issue picking those components for my build, iv researched every possible GPU an mobo, iv read so many arguments pertaining to which is best but iv yet to find a absolute definitive answer as to which is best.
I'm looking for a GPU to pair with a Intel core i3-4160. The GPU needs too between 100$ usd- 150$ USD.No higher pls. From what iv seen people tend to reccomend the r7-260x, gtx 750ti,R9 270,R7 265. I honestly have no idea which to get an of which version as they are all made by a couple different manufacturers.
In her!s of Motherboard, I'm looking for a Normal Atx H97 motherboard,Not Z97.
I do not plan on over clocking in the slightest. I merely want a good H97 Mobo so if I get a i5 or i7 in the future that I know my motherboard will be good to go an in case Intel releases newer versions of the i5 an such then the h97 will still be able to accomadate them.Price range is 50-70$ USD but if I have to then I will go 80. I'd prefer not to though. I do not plan on using dual GPUs. So crossfire an sli arnt needed.
Also pls tell me the wattage of these devices so I know to get the right PSU. I already have it picked out an good to go but if I need a higher wattage then I'll just get the higher wattage model.
My case can easily accommodate a full atx, an big GPU no problem. For reference my case.
