Advice in buying a new GPU

[andristj]

Hello! So, as I am not so experienced at new GPU inventions, so I want get some advice from you at buying a new one what could be quite good for gaming and video editing.

SO, I have got - Dramatic budget for gaming Graphic card : 150$
CPU Intel Core i5-3570K overclocked to 4233 MHz
Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H Motherboard

And my suggestion is - Radeon HD 7770 Ghz edition , but i am really no so sure...







P.S. Sorry if I made some mistakes in English. Hope you understood what iI am talking about

you shouldnt have bought the i5 3570k if you are going to spend only 150 on a video card. not the best combo for gaming. what i would have gotten was a i5 3310 and a asus 7870.

now you would have to get the 6870 instead

I agree in the 6870, the 6870 will be something like 30-50% faster depending on what you are doing. I just picked an open box one up on E-Bay for 110 bucks, so if you are willing to go this route it would be a far better choice. Sometimes you can find rebates (like the one linked previously) that bring them down near your 150 price point.

And If I will buy in far future one more Graphics card and add by crossfire with the card what i am going to buy at this moment, would you still recommend me to buy 6870?

if you have the money, get something like a 7870 now. its better to have 1 powerful card than 2 weaker cards. if you dont have the money, get the 6870

I 2nd the 7870... had it for a few weeks now and love it.

OK, understood, thank you for advice, I think, I need more money and i will have much more power with 7870.
