Best Graphics Card Under $300

[TRUTECH]

Hello! I am looking for a good graphics card under (or near) $300. I am pretty much looking for one that will run mainly TF2 at good settings, but will run Wareframe at anything. I was looking at the GTX 760, but I wanted your opinion. Any help appreciated

My current monitor specs:
- 1080p @ 60Hz
- connected with VGA (looking for DisplayPort)
- No HDMI port

The GTX770 could be a good option, you can find them for around $200 used. I personally have this card and I think it may be the best 200 bucks I've spent in a while. If you want to spend a little more I'd go for the GTX 970, I've heard nothing but good things about this card and plus it's hardly over $300.

Tough to recommend a video card without knowing the brand and exact model of your power supply.

I would recommend save up an extra $20-40 and purchase a Geforce GTX 970 or a Radeon R9 390. If you are unable to do that I would recommend the Radeon R9 380.

GTX 970s are $310 on Newegg after rebate.

Alright, I have been getting alot of Nvida cards so looking at an AMD will be cool thanks!

Let's say I would buy a different power supply if needed, what would you recommend?

Here is a site to choose a good price bc it looks at different sites:

For stability which you want in a PSU go for at least a 80+ gold rating. it goes 80+, 80+bronze all the way to platinum and titanium. When you find a good company you still need a good quality PSU. Seasonic, EVGA, some higher corsair, and Antec off the top of my head are good. You don't want one too big or small either. There are always deals that change every day so keep your eyes open. I say a 750 G2 from EVGA for around $50. Here is a quick search that I did feel free to do your own and remember rebates change a lot too.
