PC noob here. Building a PC for the first time and I have a reasonable budget - 2,500. Like most, I'm looking for the most bang for my buck. I was looking into high quality cards in the 500+ range when I stumbled across a 250$ card that ran most games max on 30-40 fps. Would it be better to go with a cheaper card that runs like that and simply buy 2? Or should I buy a single, more expensive card thats better quality? I'll likely be running on a 1920 by 1080p monitor. I'm kind of picky, and would like something that keeps a steady 60 fps on max settings on some of the highest demanding games out there. Also looking for card suggestions.
