Asus GTX760 for this rig ?

[Maevius]

Hello all, first time posting here and first time building a rig.
I bought a:
MOBO- Asus M5A97 R2.0 (Not LE)
CPU- FX 6300 6-core 3.5Ghz
RAM- Corsair Vengeance at 1600Mhz 8GB
PSU-600 Watt 80bronze
HHD- WD 1TB Black
The only thing I need now is a GPU. I am thinking of buying Asus GTX760. Is that a good choice for this rig, and if not could you give me an advice on what GPU to get? I am aiming for high/ultra settings with 40-60 fps range on SW:TOR, BF4, DayZ and any new MMORPG/RPG . I am not planning on overclocking, only if really necessary. Thank you in advance.

That would work great. A 7870 or 270x would too.

GTX 760 for high/ultra sounds about right.

I agree on the GTX760 from Asus. More info:

Free games:
At Newegg, the Asus GTX760 still lists two games (AC4, SC Blacklist) as included with the card. Other stores do not. Redeem the codes ASAP as they may be limited.

I think this is a great card. It's $240 after $10 MIR, and if you compare to the $220 R9-270X fairly (same Asus cooler) then the Asus GTX760 averages 12% higher performance. That's based on 18 games averaged (at Techpowerup).

I had to go by two separate charts to compare these cards directly but both were from Techpowerup. Here's one: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_760_Direct_Cu_II_OC/27.html

the other: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/R9_270X_Direct_Cu_II_TOP/26.html

I just compared the STOCK GTX760 to the R9-270X, then the Asus GTX760 to stock in the other benchmark. Again, the Asus GTX760 beats the Asus R9-270X by 12%.

Thank you everyone! Hopefully the card will last several years
