What Graphics Card should I buy

February 17, 2013 11:53:53 PM

Ok guys. I've got a custom built pc that i bought off someone and i want to upgrade the graphics card. My rig is:

MOTHERBOARD Asus m5a 78l- M SOCKET AM3- USB 3
CPU AMD FX 6100 BULLDOZER 3.33GHZ X6 CORE
8GB DDR3 MEMORY 2 X 4 GIGS
AMD RADEON HD 6450 2GB DDR3 PCI-E GRAPHICS CARD
1 TB HARD DRIVE SATA

What would you recommend? I was thinking about the gtx 550 ti or gtx 650 but more inclined towards the 550 seeing its cheaper.

Thanks in advance.

If you're planning on doing heavy gaming. The 550 Ti is a pretty weak card. If the they are all you can afford, then going with the 650.

Cheers for the reply. I mean I game but I dont consider myself a hardcore gamer. I mainly play guild wars 2 LOL and CS. Will the 650 be enough. Ive found this deal on ebay is it any good?

Also I compared both the 550 ti and the 650 and isnt the 550 more powerful?

Cheers
