Best Graphics Card?

[Matthew Thompson-1279937]

Hey guys I am wanting to add a GPU to my new build and am wanting to get an idea of the latest good cards out there. I am looking at spending about 300 to 350 for this card. Could anyone recommend a good buy in this range? Ive used ATI cards in the past and have never used NVIDIA, I am not picky as to which one!! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?!

Perfect! Should I use Amazon or New Egg? As to which brand! I've used Asus and EVGA. They seem to be more reliable! Thanks again!!

well IMO the best is the Gigabyte card...but that's like 20 bucks over your limit at 370ish I think. I have two of them in SLI right now. I LOVE EVGA, but it seems their 980s are better than their 970s. If you get EVGA just make sure you get the ACX 2.0 cooler...the 1.0 has issues with the heat pipes not touching correctly.

The asus strix is really nice, and the MSI card is pretty good too. IMO for 970 I would go with Gigabyte or EVGA FTW...though both are slightly over your 350.
