My new build works great! Only problem right now is, I'm stuck on integrated graphics. I had to wait until my next paycheck to be able to budget a discrete card in. But now I'm stuck.
I am looking at the $250 price range (so 7850/GTX 570 range)
Going off of the "How to ask" stickied thread...
I want to buy a card this coming week. (Paycheck will probably come to me by Monday)
Usage-wise, I want to be able to max or near-max newer games (Skyrim, Dead Island, BL2 when it comes out) at 1080p. Secondarily I want to be able to record 30fps video at 720p on those same games. (would I be able to get 60fps out of recording?) And of somewhat minor importance, I might end up adding a Bluray drive in the mix, and would like smooth playback of that.
Current GPU/PSU: Intel HD 4000 (i5-3570k) / SeaSonic modular 620W
Other components: i5-3570k on an H77 GIGABYTE mobo, with 8gb of Ripjaws DDR3-1600.
I prefer Newegg for parts.
I don't have much preference brand-wise; this is my first build and I don't know what brands are good or bad.
Overclocking: Maybe. SLI/Xfire: Only if I'm not paying for it. XD (definite no)
Max resolution my monitor displays is 1920x1080. I'd like to be able to max most games at that. I also use a smaller secondary, which I use for productivity, Skype, Spotify, and all the other "background" stuff. That one runs at 1280x1024.
Additional comments: I had my heart set on a Powercolor PCS+ 7850, but now I'm not so sure. I don't get paid very much so I want to keep it around the $250 mark (which is either a 7850 or a GTX 560 Ti/570). It also must have 2 DVI outs.

These are the cards I have considered:
Powercolor PCS+ 2GB HD 7850

EVGA GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB

EVGA GTX 480 (Fermi) 1536MB

Please, help me choose! I'm sick of integrated graphics! XD
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
