[Chad Hughes]

this is my current specs GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P motherboard,Rosewill - BRONZE Series - 1000-Watt power supply,SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 250GB as my os drive,WD6000HLHX 600GB 10000 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s as a media drive,AMD FX-8320 cpu,G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) ram,Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 video card running 2 ASUS VS Series VS247H-P everything is pretty much new except the graphics which i think is on its way out looking for a good graphics card that wont break the bank but still good

It really depends on what you could afford. Probably with that setup you would want a gtx 1060, or a RX 580. Anything higher then that and the cpu will be a bottleneck on the gpu. with either one of the cards you will be able to play most game at high settings.

i would like to stay around 200

either one better then the other any specific brand to stay away from

For that i would suggest you look at reviews. i like my msi gtx 1070. Some people swear by Asus. One think to think about is if you at a time in the future decide to go SLI or Crossfire. You can not do SLI on a 1060. you can however do Crossfire on an AMD card. Also the 580 is closer to your price range. You can get this https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125964 in your pricerange. It is a 4gb card.

This is a nvidia is a 3gb card. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125906

I think nvidia cards have higher fps. but the 1gb difference may negate that. These card also come in 6gb for nvidia and 8 gb for AMD

These are just examples in the 200 dollar price range. you can actually get nvidia 3gb card for less.

I would suggest going to Newegg and read the buyer reviews.

well there is only a 50 dollar difference between the 4gb and 8gb models besides the higher end ones which would you choose they all only 1 or 2 reviews .
