Best graphic card for the money and performance

[yossefelbaz]

Hi.

My system now:
1. Corsair TX650 PSU
2. ASUS M5A88-M Motherboard
3. AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE
4. Corsair XMS3 2x4GB
5. Western Digital 500GB HDD
6. Seagate 2TB HDD

I want to buy a graphic card and i got lost. i see so many specifications, such as memory size, memory type, memory bus, etc... In the games part i see FPS (i know what it is), resolution, etc...

I want to know what is the most important part to look at. For example: 2GB 128bit vs 1GB 256GB...

My goal is to play BF3 in ultra mode with resolution of not more than 1080p lines. My other goal is cost...
The next step will be upgrading to SSD, but it's not important now...

Thanks in advance!

you should get a radeon 7870 for best results. It will be able to play bf3 on ultra too.
Memory bus i.e 128bit/256bit and memory amount is important for higher resolution gaming. For 1080p a 192bit bus is the minimum I would aim for although a 256bit bus will be much better.

I have a Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 and it's played every game I throw at it at the highest settings. Haven't tried BF3, but it handles Skyrim and Arkham City just fine.
