I would like to purchase a video card tonight BUT, if there is something worth waiting a month for, I may be willing to wait.
I am willing to spend up to $350 if there is a big leap at that price range but would prefer to keep it under $300
I am mostly playing BF3 and Skyrim right now but I like to push graphics so I will probably re-install crysis for another run through.
Current Specs:
I currently have an MSI Hawk 5770 video card and this power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152028 (I am willing to upgrade the power supply if I stay in budget but I'm sure it won't be a problem, my partner is using one of these with a Sapphire 6870)
cpu- AMD phenom II X4 965 (3.4 ghz quad core)
mobo- Asus M4a79xtd-evo
memory- G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
I would like to stick with Amazon/Newegg for parts unless you guys know of other reliable sites with better prices. In my experience, nothing beats these guys.
I usually prefer ATI cards but the Geforce 570 seems like the best choice/value at this point according to this chart: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
Overclocking usually is more hassle/risk than it's worth but I'm open to it.
I am driving a 28" monitor at 1920x1200 resolution
Thanks in advance for all the great help. These are the best forums on the net
