Hi Everyone,

This is my 1st post in this community.

Today i just got new PC with below config.

Processor - AMD 8350
Board - ASUS M5A97-R2
Corsair ATX VS 650 POWER SUPPLY
WD 1 TB

Suggest me the best graphics (2gb) card for the above configuration.I building this PC for gaming.
friends suggested me to go with ASUS Radeon-R7-260X
But due to UN-availability i'm looking for equivalent or better than above graphics card.

Thank you,

Sathish

The NVIDIA recommendation would be a GTX 960.

The AMD recommendation would be a R9 280X which goes for around $170 for a 3GB model or a R9 380 which goes around $200 for a 4GB model.

An equivalent to the R7 270X would be the Radeon HD 7790, which is just a rebranded R7 270X.

NVIDIA: GTX 960
AMD : R9 380

The R9 380 is around the same price structure as the GTX 960, but delivers better performance. Therefore it's logically the better option to go with.

R9 380 would be a good card to pick up. I personally have one, runs very good

Question: Why did you chose that setup ?

Suggestion: If you really want to use an FX 83x0, you WILL have to overclock it at 4.5 GHz at least.

Suggestion 2: For the FX 83x0 at 4.5 Ghz, the best GPUs I'd recommend to use with it is the 380X. So if you can, get that

Suggestion 3: Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE, buy a 2 GB GPU in 2016. Make the effort and get a 4 GB GPU. So either 270X 4 GB < 950 4 GB < 960 GB < 380 4 GB < 380X 4 GB, in this worde.
