Dear Tom's Hardware,
A while ago I made a post to get some information on what parts i could reuse or should have to replace of my factory pc (Hp pavilion) - (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2767764/gaming-parts-compatibility.html?575874b949f09=reload) .
Now that I've gathered several parts ( Cooltek X3 case and XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply) I still need to make the choice of the Graphics card. While I was recommended by some kind people on this forum to take the GTX970 for my build, I still wonder if that isn't maybe a bit of an overkill? What I'm looking for is not to play all the latest games at 60FPS on ultra, I want it to just run smoothly and look decent. (e.g. : I play Dark souls III with every setting on low, and still get disconnected when there are even just too many enemies on the screen, it runs at about 15-20FPS max...) What I'm looking for is a graphics card that could manage it on medium or high settings with 30FPS overall being enough.
So I would very much appreciate it to be helped with picking out a good graphics card that'd be compatible with my current parts. I have looked around myself a bit and apparently a AMD Radeon RX 480 has more than enough capability? Would that be compatible with the other parts? (I don't really know much much about AMD graphics cards so)
Thanks
Alex.
