hello, i have beendoing a lot of research as im looking for a graphics card. Im certainly not an expert on computers so thought i would like a second oppinion about which card would be a good choice.

i have a GA-970A-DS3 motherboard
AMD FX-4100 quad core (3.6 ghz)
700W psu
4GB RAM


Just interested in what my pcu and motherboard can handle really. Im more worried about price as i dont want to stretch myself too much beyond £120. Any ideas would be apriciated thanks.

I have been thinking about a 660gtx or a 7850.

asll, an FX4100 isn't the most powerful CPU in the world, but it'll suffice. the gtx660 and the radeon HD 7850 are both good cards for your price-range. the 660 is a bit more powerful, so if they cost the same where you are, then the 660 would be my pick

thanks for the quick reply. i knew i was limeted by my CPU. I acctualy think it was a GTX560 i was looking at but i now know my limits I would prefer the gtx because of the new geforce expierience open beta i just downloaded. Thanks again.

I would go with the 7850 if you are interested in overclocking because an oced 7850 > oced GTX 660 with average overclocks for both, but other than that enjoy the 660 =D.

if it's between a 7850 and a 560, the AMD card wins hands down. also you have a 750w psu, so overclocking should not be a problem
