Hi everyone I need some suggestions for a graphics card. I want to be able to play games at HIGH settings but i dont wanna spend over $150. These are the parts im planning on getting for my first build and i dont want it to go over $900. I do plan on upgrading this computer and overclocking in the future but i wanted to start out with some good parts. which is why I went with the i5,extreme4 and SSD. Any help would be great and thank you so much. oh and will all this fit in a mid full case?

Intel Core i5-3570K

ASRock Z77 Extreme4

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB

SAMSUNG 840 Series MZ-7TD120BW 2.5" 120GB SSD

Rosewill CAPSTONE-550-M 550W Continuous @ 50°C, Intel Haswell Ready, 80 PLUS GOLD


FYI (Im sorry if I put this in the wrong spot first post on forum)
 
You can save by taking 450w PSU take same brand and model.
Then you maybe can save in SSD if plextor is cheaper?

Or sandisk ultra plus: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sandisk-internal-hard-drive-sdssdhp128gg25

a GOOD video card is 7870 XT or 7950 or GTX 770 untill the new GTX card will come out in couple moths from now so maybe best to wait bit longer. Cheaper models are coming. Try to find good price 3570k and MoBo combo. Or take look used parts? 2500k and so on are still good CPU.
Micro center was selling really cheap CPU and MoBo. But only store pick up. Or take LGA 1150 build?

Other way to go is cheaper motherboard like B-75 or H-77 then you just lose overclocking. But then you can get intel cheap xeon 1230V2 was really cheap and with that you can use cheap B-75 mobo if you do not overclock. http://www.microcenter.com/product/388577/Core_i5_3570K_34GHz_Socket_LGA_1155_Boxed_Processor

We do use lot xeon 1230V2 CPU in EU but you guys are bit old school with that in USA :)
maybe because xeons are bit higher priced in USA than they are in EU first builds are made soon with intel xeon 1230V3 if user is not overclocking. They are working really well in gaming machine. Because they are faster than not overclocked k CPU:s They have HT and 8 Treads. And save comes with motherboard because you do not need expensive cpu cooler or overclock able motherboard.
Good price is here for a GTX 660 only 169 $ Normal price is 209

Do you have the prices for the items, and I mean all of them? It also depends on what games you want to run on it. If you're just playing Oregon Trail, then I could see getting a graphics card for about $150.00. But I think you're planning on games like Bioshock Infinite and the like. You would probably be able to play with some settings on high, but not all. For the size, I assume pretty much any card'll fit in a mid tower, not a "mid full" case. (Not trying to be condescending, just trying to show you the correct jargon.)

I've included some options:

But remember to research them for your specific build.

EDIT: God dang, you all beat me to it. xD
