Graphics Upgrade?

Last response: in Systems
Share

I finally got my computer built, here's the specs.
-MSI 760GM-P35 AM3 AMD 760G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
-Corsair 8GB (2x 4GB), PC10666, DDR3-1333MHz, 9-9-9-24 Latency (2 more dimms left)
-Seagate 1TB Serial ATA HD 7200/32MB/SATA-6G
-AMD Phenom II x6 1090t 3.2 ghz

I'm using integrated graphics, and I was wondering what graphics card you would recommend. I don't do a lot of Gaming, and the integrated graphics suit me alright. I think my 3d graphics Windows experience index is 5.4, and my regular graphics are 4.4. Kind of odd, I thought. Can anyone explain that?

Anyway, I was wondering if a $50-$75 graphics card would be worth it? What's your opinion?

If you don't game, it's probably not worth it . The integrated graphics will do most everything else fine. However, if you get the bug to game and have to stay at $75, Newegg has a HD 6750 that is that price. It will provide a fine gaming experience at 1680x1050 and below with most eye candy turned on. Tom's Graphics card hierarchy chart ranks it fairly decent for its price...

well.. Since I decided to post this, I tried a few games on my pc.. Black ops is a NO go.. America's Army is alright, but I'd like a little boost. What can I get that's just a little over the integrated?

Thanks for your input!!! However, the one at newegg is not a 6750, but a 6570, is this still a good deal?

Yes. It's a good price for a decent card that will be a major upgrade to on-board video. (My bad. I mistyped when I said 6750. Dyslectic, I guess)
