Hi i was wondering what the best graphics card for around $200 would be? I have an a6 3670k cpu on a asrock a75m mobo. I know the cpu will be a bottleneck but i plan on upgrading the cpu and mobo in the near future. I have been looking at the r9 280x. Is there any better card for around this price?

280X speed wise is faster than the GTX 960. I fell like the 960 is the go to card everyone recommends here without even reading the post.

Either way RababNoor is right, unfortunately that CPU will bottleneck on either card. But if you plan on upgrading anyway get the 280X or get a new 380 (280X is faster, 380 has some newer features).

While selecting any graphics card the first thing you need to see is you Power Supply Unit.Since GPUs are power hungry devices if you specify the details then together we can narrow down the search.Also we need to check what monitor resolution you have @ what frame rate it run.Say you use a 60 Hz monitor max FPS you can achieve is 60 FPS.

No Card can beat R9 280X. GTX 960 is just way way behind 280X.

But your CPU will be bottlenecked by R9 280X or 960.
