APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: ASAP, 3 days outside this is the last part of a new build.

BUDGET RANGE: Before Rebates <$135(could go a bit higher if compelling, would love to spend less of course)

USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming (Diablo 3, Warcraft, Considering world of tanks, mechwarrior), App development 20+ windows multiple apps

CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: Corsair Enthusiast 650 v2

OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: MB ASRock Z77 Extreme4-M LGA 1155 Intel Z77 CPU i5-2500k hard drive - boot SSD (7200 app drive), Memory - G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg or amazon COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA PARTS PREFERENCES: None

OVERCLOCKING: Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Not now, but maybe later if at good price point.

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1360x768 wouldn't mind 1920x1080

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Not overly important to run every setting in the game but very playable. I have been looking at HD 6770 @$120, HD 6790 @$130, HD 6850 @$135 I've reviewed "best graphic card July" but found my weakness is translating to what that means in terms of game play. I want a good card I can slap in and easily play Diablo 3 now, and hopefully last a couple years before I have to upgrade or add a second card.

HD 7770 for that price range. There simply isn't anything better than that for that price.

As you can see, the cards that come close are GTX 460 and HD 6850, however, they are both more expensive and do not fit your budget. Also, by overclocking HD 7770 you can easily surpass them.
