Pete1989 · 3 Nov 2013 at 21:52

Hi, I have a budget for about 300 (maybe 350) for a CPU, Mobo (mAtx) & GPU. Mostly to be used for HTPC, emulation and a few 1080p med quality games.

Suggestions welcome

I think it's fair to say that 7850's are the best card for the money to date, as were their counterparts of the previous generation (The 6850).

Sorry :/ didn't realise.
