[SOLVED] Best GPU for my i5-4460

[Charseza]

As the title says, i'm looking into buying a GPU for my brand new built gaming rig. Specs are :

Intel Core i5-4460 3.2Ghz Quad Core
Biostar H81MHV3 Motherboard
16GB Kingston HyperX Fury 1600Mhz
1TB Wester Digital SATA
128GB Kingston SSD
Intel HD Graphics 4600 Integrated
Corsair VS650 PSU
Aerocool GT-RS Case
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

So I have a GT730 here at home but rather than using it temprarily (because we all know dedicated GPU is better than integrated), i decided to sell it to add for my budget for a new GPU. I had the Palit GTX 750 ti Stormx 2GB in mind. I want a GPU that wont bottleneck my CPU and vice versa and provides a good balance. Any ideas?

Get the best video card you can afford. The i5 4460 will literally handle any one of them.

 

[Charseza]

So the GTX 750 ti isnt a bad idea? It retails for about $150USD here in the Philippines. Any ideas what GPUs are cheaper and better than the 750?

 

[CTurbo]

Do you already have all of those parts? The GTX750ti is relatively weak. I would cut costs somewhere else like losing the ssd in order to get a better video card.

 

[Charseza]

Unfortunately, i already have the system operational.

What is your GPU budget?

 

[Charseza]

Well I already splurged a lot on the cpu so maybe below 150-180$

 

[CTurbo]

Can you at least get a R7 370, GTX950, GTX960, R9 280, R9 285, or R9 380? I don't think I would buy a GTX750ti.

 

[Charseza]

Those are a little bit out of budget I must say. Well, probably in 2 months I can get one of those but for now, i really don't know. I found an HD 7850 for sale online at only 60$. What do you think?

 

[Charseza]

I want it to be able to play MGSV TPP, Starwars Battlefront, and some other new games at decent fps at medium to high settings. Prolly 45+ fps

R9 380 4Gb 179.99 after rebate. Fits your budget and great card

 

[Charseza]

How about a cheaper card worth below 100$? Because i forgot i still need a new monitor. Im using a 16 inch shitty monitor

 

[bxflow]

Probably the r7 360

Or the GT 740 but it's DDR3

 

[Charseza]

Hows the comparison between the 2gb r7 360 and the gtx 750 ti?

 

[Charseza]

I found a brand new Palit GeForce GTX 950 StormX 2gb GDDR5 128 bit for under 170$!!!!!! Should i get that?

 

[Alan Caldwell]

Try for a GTX 960.

 

[Charseza]

Is there a significant difference between the 950 and 960?

 

[Alan Caldwell]

Yes, yes indeed.

Comparsion,

[Charseza]

Well right now im on budget since my car broke down. Anything good i can get for under 80$?

 

[CTurbo]

I would not waste my money on a video card in the $80 price range. Wait and save up. The GTX950 is significantly stronger than the GTX750ti.
