Best graphics card for intel i5 4690?

[Pc_noob91]

Still a noob at pc builds and not ready to cross the overclocking bridge just yet..Trying to stay under the $250 price range...Looking at playing strictly 1080p, high to very high settings if possible. Thanks for the help.

Here's a couple of good options for you. You'll need a high quality power supply, 550 watt for the 380X and 650 watts for the 390.

UPDATE: The 390 is $259.99 after rebate but is currently sold out.

The 380X is a faster version of the 380. You can probably save money by getting a 380 and overclocking it a bit. It will runs games on high settings and maybe a few games on ultra.

My build consist of

Intel i5 4690
G.skill rip jaws 2x4gb
MSI gaming 5 mobo
And a corsair spec-03 case. Going with a red and black theme so trying to find a graphics card to match that don't break the bank. I plan on staying in the 1080p rang for awhile

The MSI is a fine card and the right colors-

Check out the Antec High Current Gamer (HCG) semi-modular series power supplies. The colors match and the units are made by Seasonic so quality is good.
