Need Help with Video card selection.

Last response: in Systems
Share

Hello everyone, trying to put this 600$ machine together.
Got almost all the parts picked, but having an issue with selecting a video card.
I have 2 1920 x 1080 monitors, but I don't use Eyefinity, and probably not going to start.
System is mostly for gaming, with some movies and web browsing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in Advance,
Alex.

Video Card
This is where I am lost. I was trying to pick up a:
Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 XTREME 1 GB DDR5 HDMI/DVI-I/DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 100282XTREME
But Newegg and Amazon, both are out of the card.

Was wondering if anyone has a good suggestion for a Video card that would support 1920 x 1080, and not break the bank.
At the moment The total is $414.95. I am trying to keep it under $600, but a little over won't be a problem.
Thanks!

Not bad! I like the build.

Anyway, my suggestion would be a 6850. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... However, looks like we can sneak a more powerful 6870 in there. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Those are my 2 recommendations! Simple as that. Btw I suggest the slightly more expensive XFX models because they come with a lifetime warranty ;) 

I would like to make sure the PSU has the right connectors. Can you link it please?

Yeah it SHOULD run fine. Although I am still amazed how many cables it has..... But it's ok, you won't be Crossfiring anyway.

Did you check out the case?

Yeah, For some reason the Details are not showing up on Newegg. Perhaps because I have like 20 tabs with parts open, who knows.
It looks very nice I'll pick it up, it's only $5, and looks good.
Looking online to see if I can find details somewhere else.
