Hey guys,

I just purchased Overwatch for my computer and the game is not running as smooth as expected, I assume it is because of my poor graphics card. (Primary use is for gaming)

Solution
If you have that low of a budget, wait 2 months for the current generation of graphics cards to fall. By then the gtx 970 and r9 285 should be close to $200. Otherwise I would recommend the gtx 950 and a corsair cx430.
