Gcard newbie

[KageRa]

i am looking into building a computer to save money but i have no idea what to look for when it comes to a graphics card. i want to be able to play starcraft 2 and diablo 3 on medium settings without lagging out. preferably at at least 30 fps. my max price is $100. as i said i am building from scratch and i plaan to build from the gcard out in terms of compatability.

Hi

A HD6750 is a good choice in that price range: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161395

It outperforms the nvidia competition (GTX640) so it would be my recommendation, just make sure you get a quality 450W PSU or better and atleast a core i3 2120 or better for a smooth gaming experience.

Look at that list. I think for $110 (a mere $10 over budget) you can get a 7750 which is a pretty good deal. And it still requires no auxiliary power source. Definitely worth considering.
