Having trouble finding a good graphics card.

[Fire Lord844]

I'm building a Gaming Desktop Computer from the ground up. I've gotten some of the bigger components out of the way, but now I'm in the process to deciding on a graphics card within my budget.

Here are the Components and Links I have decided on so far:

Tower:
Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Upgraded USB 3.0
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021

Motherboard:
ASRock Z97M Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157521

Processor:
Intel Core i3-4330 Haswell Dual-Core 3.5GHz LGA 1150 54W Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4600 BX80646I34330
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116945

Memory Cards:
G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C10Q-16GSR
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231658

Hard Drive:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178401

In the past of liked Radeon Video Cards, but here lately I've also been looking into the new Directx 11 and GeForce Cards. With that being said I'm not sure what to look for anymore. I'm a big PC Gamer for RuneScape, League of Legends, I also Stream on Twitch and make youtube video's.

This computer isn't just for gaming though as I am also in the process of creating my own java based game and work as a computer programmer and website designer. Any help that anyone can give me would be great. I'm trying to find a Card for under $400, as well as any thoughts or idea's on upgrades for my current listed components.

Could get one of the older series amd like the 7970 overclock it and it will beat the r9 280x. Or get an nvidia gtx 780 possible if it fits in the price. I'm not sure as I live in the UK but hope it helps

If you like to stream a gtx 970/780 have shadowplay.



ddr3 1600 is what you should be getting, g skill sets are quite overclockable.


Have you bought the cpu already? You need to be looking at i5's minimum.

None of this has been purchased yet.

I'm getting all the components planned out and set before I start buying anything.
After Looking at the prices, the video cards are way out of my range. I'm trying to stay Under $400
