Hello,
I've run into some kind of PC crisis. Since my graphics card has crapped out and my motherboard doesn't have onboard video, I am without a computer. I am currently looking for a new graphics card to stick in my PC.
I'd like to stay under $300 but continue to be able to run a simple game like World of Warcraft at 60fps and be able to play games like The Witcher, Starcraft 2 and other new games at max settings with ease.
The only thing I am unwilling to do is buy from PNY. Since I started having problems with their graphics card, I have been unable to get solid answers from their tech support via the phone or email. On top of that, they seem completely unwilling to honor their warranty which has apparently ran out (despite me talking to them for the past three months and them refusing to just give in and accept the graphics card back).
All in all, I've given up trying with them and will take the hit and buy a new one from someone else. I just need suggestions. Below is a list of hardware in my computer, case included:
-----------------------------------------------------------
PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX Power Supply
CASE: COOLERMASTER 690
XIGAMATEK DARK KNIGHT-S12 83V
Arcti COOLING MX-2 THERM COMP
RAM: G.SKILL 6GB DDR3 TRIP CHANNEL
HDD: WESTERN DIGITAL WD640AALS
DISK DRIVE:LG 22x DVD+R 8X DVD+RW
CRAPPED-OUT GRAPHICS CARD: PNY VCGGTX275XPB GeForce GTX 275 896MB 448-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
MOTHERBOARD: GIGABYTE GA-EX85-UD3R
CPU: INTEL CORE i7 920
