GPU Advice for PC Build

[Shadeslayer110]

Hi,
I wanted to ask if the GPU, SAPPHIRE DUAL-X 100370L Radeon R7 265 2GB, supports my needs. I want to use my PC build for everyday school use and to play games like Titanfall, ESO, Skyrim, and Dark Souls 2. I want decent graphics at a good fps rate. Please let me know if this is suitable for my needs and if there is a better one for the same/lower price, feel free to tell me! (Note: I do not need a great graphics card for more than $150 that gives me the best graphics and fps. I only want a decent one.)

I'd suggest a 750ti as an equivalent performer that produces less heat and uses less power(literally uses half the power) even after overclocking. But that being said, the 265 is a great card and does perform better in some games. really up to you both these cards should be the ones you look at as opposed to anything higher or lower for your budget. If you can find a 750ti for cheaper than the r7-265, then go with the 750ti. same goes for if you find the 265 for cheaper

if the same price, then it really is up to you, as you won't go wrong with either card

The EVGA GTX 750 Ti Superclocked doesn't require a 6-pinn power connector so that's something to think about also. Make sure you know what your power supply can handle before looking into graphics cards. Might help I think.
