New build....best graphics card

[Rosco_50]

Hi All

I have been helped out on the motherboard section choosing my motherboard and processor very successfully!

I now need ideas for a graphics card....

I am looking at a budget of £80 to £100 currently on a 19 inch screen soon to possibly be a 22 inch monitor

it will be for running diabolo 2 and 3, steam, left for dead 2 and simulators.

any more information that will help please ask and I will do my best to give it!!!

thanks in advance

At the minute I have been advised and agreed on the intel i5 4570 and the MSI G43 mobo.

other then that everything else is open to options but just considering the budgets I have in mind.

graphics card £80 to £100
PSU £ 50
16gb memory £100
SSD £70

case, cooler and HDD are all sorted but graphics card is my next item on my list.

hope this info helps

thanks

To be honest if I were you I would stretch the Graphics budget if at all possible.

Right now £125-129 will get you an R9 270 which is a bit below the 7950 in terms of performance but would certainly keep you going for a good while

+1 to pushing the budget up if you can.

Could always just settle for 8GB ram for now

thanks for the feedback

if it means the graphics will last me for a while (which is my intention with the build) then I think I could find a bit more for the graphics card.

just to compare what would be the options for no more then £100?

The card I linked is one of the best, if not the best, you'll currently find on this site for a hundred quid. However, as mentioned, for not much extra the R9 270 is worth going for imo.

ahh ok sorry I missed that link on your post......thanks

I will have a look at the three options and see what I think with regards to budget

for your budget 2nd hand is where you want to look

you should have simply posted in the general hardware section for a full spec help, but anyway what is your overall budget for this pc?
rjc has posted a couple of good specs for you in your other thread, if you go the intel spec he posted if your budget will allow I'd suggest stretching to the 4670k for ~£15 more. yes you said you're not going t be overclocking but for the sake of £15 it gives you the option in the future to eek out some extra performance from it..
