ZOTAC GeForce GTX 560 SE (This is the SE version)
SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 7770 GHz EDITION OC 1GB GDDR5
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: No solid date. I've already purchased a new Mobo and the next purchase would either be a new video card or new memories.
BUDGET RANGE: Around US $150
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming(planning to play ArmA 3), light HD movies watching
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: HIS Radeon HD 6570 1GB DDR3. 550W PSU(not sure of brand, will soon change it to a Corsair or Antec PSU)
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS:
AMD A10-5800K @ 3.8ghz (will overclock with new mobo) with Corsair 2nd Gen. H60 Liquid Cooler
EMAXX A55FM2HD-iCafe(Don't know if you guys know this Mobo brand. Though I've already ordered a Gigabyte GA-F2A85X-UP4)
4GB @ 1333mhz(unknown brand but I will upgrade this to a G.Skill Ripjaws-X 2x4GB @ 1866mhz)
I have a case that has 1 front fan, 2 side panel fan, 2 top fan, 1 rear exhaust fan.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: none, or more specifically I have no way to pay for online purchases. However, there is a store here that have those in stock, prices are in Philippine Pesos.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Philippines. Explains a bit how I have hardware with unknown brand in my current setup. I bought my computer in another store that didn't have many hardware to choose from.
PARTS PREFERENCES: I would prefer MSI or EVGA for the GTX 560 but the Zotac one is within my budget of $150 or around PHP6000.
OVERCLOCKING: Not planning
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: A measly 1366x768. Will upgrade my monitor once I have my room renovated and have a proper desk/space for my computer.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'm planning to play ArmA 3 once the full version is released. Lots of people are already saying that ArmA 3 is better optimized and that if one was able to run ArmA 2 with medium settings then ArmA 3 would perform better. Most graphics intensive game I have I think is ArmA 2 or Ghost Recon Future Soldier, not sure. Though ArmA 2 is more CPU intensive, I think. Will also be playing War Thunder.
Passmark says that the GTX 560 SE performs a bit better than the 7770 but I don't know how reliable these numbers are.
So, guys, thoughts? Maybe from the pricelist I've linked to you could recommend a better card than those 2 that is similarly priced? Thanks.
