So I've been working on the build above (see system specs) to make a custom build for preferably less than $800, although I originally planned for $750. I've managed to put together a pretty nice system for the money I have, in my opinion, with the help of some users around here. I just am lost one one component of the system: the video card. I feel as if I don't need amazing visuals. The primary purpose of this computer is to (1) do heavy multitasking between high amount of browser tabs, office software, adobe software, etc., (2) Used for Photoshop and After Effects primarily, (3) Homework, (4) Decent Gamer, and (5) watch movies streamed via Netflix. Yes I want to have good visuals, but I don't want to exceed my budget.
Can someone recommend the best graphic cards I should consider for my system that fall within the projected price range?
