Advice on choosing a Video Card

[phengv18]

Can anyone offer some advice on which video cards I should buy for my new rig? Here is the list of parts I have already bought. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2ExOj

This build will be mainly used for moderate video editing with adobe premiere, watching movies, and a little gaming. I plan to hook it up on dual screens as well as hooking it up to a 55-60 inch TV. Anything around the price range of $130-190.

I have been recommended the Gigabyte Radeon HD 7790 2GB, what are your thoughts on this card? It this recommended card good for what I am asking?

Thanks!

While at this price range an AMD card would be better for gaming, I reccomend an Nvidia for Video editing.

This one would do nicely for your need, even for gaming:

Good luck!


EDIT: If you're looking to go high, get this, it's $189. And it's more powerful than the 650ti.

Go for a GTX660 OC edition card. It will cost a little bit more, but it will be more capable and will be able to keep up with modern video editing programs for longer than the 650ti will.

I'd recommend one of these two cards:

That's what I'M refering to, but not RCGuitarist. It depends, if you don't do much gaming, the Gigabyte 660 will be fine, but the Asus one, is, I admit, a better choice. For 10$ more you get a higher quality card, that's cooler and quieter and more powerful.
