Hi all,
I am currently building a budget gaming machine around an intel i3-2100/ MSI p67 mobo. I have intentions to upgrade the cpu down the road as well as SLI/crossfire in a second card in about a year. The games I play at the moment aren't super graphics intensive (starcraft 2, WoW, and I plan on Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2).
I want to keep costs low, but be able to run my games at a 1920 x 1080 resolution minimum on high if not ultra settings. Which card should i be looking at?
On my radar so far: HD 6870, HD 6850, GTX 460 1 GB, GTX 465, GTX 560.
Remember I want to keep costs down preferably around $150, but I don't want to lose out on performance and I plan on putting in a second card down the line.
Thoughts?
