Graphics card on budget?

Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Share

Hi. Just wondering what's a good enough graphics card to run the following games with a decent frame rate.

Games in order of which I'll be playing the most:

Runescape (Max settings)

CoD4 - whatever settings

Minecraft

League of Legends


Pretty sure the monitor that i'm getting's native resolution is 1600*900.

The specs are:

CPU: i5 3570k

Speed: 3.4 GHz

Cores: 4

RAM: 8 GB PC3-12800 (1600 MHz DDR3)

2TB HDD 7200 RPM

Optical Drive: Super Multi DVD+/-RW

CURRENT graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 7570

I was just wondering if that graphics card that is put it already will be good enough? If not, what's a cheaper one?

Please help, I'm going to be getting the computer soon.

It also says there is no PSU.

Also, since I'm really strapped for money, if I have to get a new graphics card, is there any way I could get money for the one that is currently installed in the computer?

well to max those games out you need a 7770/7850 and a power supply(corsair TX 650) add that together and it's about $200 for a 7770 and $275 for a 7850 by the way what is you budget

Maxing out cod4 isn't a really big deal to me as I don't see much a difference in the way it looks in either settings. However, Runescape in max settings is a huge difference and I don't believe requires too fancy of a card. I just want to know a card that will rune CoD4/LoL smoothly on any settings.

Also, for the 7770; is that $200 for the PSU and graphics card? or just card?

beyon beliefe LoL is pretty demanding and the 7770 is perfect for it the 7850 2Gb i might add is for future because the 7770 will only be good for 2 years at getting good frames in medium-high settings and yes the $200 and $275 is graphics card and power supply

That looks almost too good to be true. I don't feel safe buying off Ebay, idk how to prevent being scammed. And someone will probably outbid me anyway.
