Hi, long time lurker first time poster. I don't know if I'm posting in the right section but can anyone recommend me a good card around $100-150 price range? I'm leaning towards gtx 460 768mb and newegg has MIR deals make these cards around $140. Should I buy the card now or should I wait for april deals?

The GTX460 768MB is a good card but if you squeeze the wallet a little harder get one of these HD6850 for more performance http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=E...

Make sure your system will run well with the new card, CPU, power supply, etc...

GTX550 TI does not better the GTX460 768MB.

it runs very well for a single powerful gpu like the 6970 or gtx 570, but when I had crossfire 6870s it seemed to be a contributing factor to some of the microsutter/ min fps I was expiriencing.
The 955 basically clocks to 3.8 out of the box and at that level it can compete with the low end i5-2400k at stock and its a little bit better then the core 2 quads which are a ripoff on a dying platform, overall the 955 is a great budget chip, but if you can afford it the i5 2500k would be a much better buy for the money imo, but in the end a 955 is really all you need for a good gaming rig, there are those extremists that need an i7 980x to properly run quad fire or what have you... in the end the 955 is perfectly powerful for a single powerful modern card up to the gtx 580 or more..

well you don't have to but I was just putting things in prespective, I feel like my setup id pretty balanced so if you got a gpu on the level of a gtx 570 then I think you too would have a nice balanced system. If anything I would at least go for a gtx 460 1gb or better if you can afford it... and I dont want to hijack the thread from the op so if you want any more info or advice just pm me

I'd get the 5850, its faster overall and the gigabyte model should provide some hefty overclocking room, not a bad deal at all, of course most people say that the 6850s can oc nicely as well but overall the 5850 is the stronger card... in fact it looks like it has a small factory overclock out of the box if you like that kind of thing, overall the gigabyte design is quiet and cool, I used to have a 5870 in that same gigabyte flavor and it was excellent

Best solution
Radeon 5870 for $170--that's the best you're gonna get. OC it and you beat a GTX 570.

Otherwise, get a 5770 for $99 after rebate and a second for Crossfire on Black Friday for like $70.
That or a GTX 460 1GB or 5850 if you find either for under $150.
