I'm doing my first PC build and am having a hard time picking out a graphics card for it. It will mostly be used for YouTube, Netflix, Microsoft Office, and World of Warcraft. I have narrowed my graphics card choice on the EVGA GTX 650 1gb (non "ti") and was wondering how i would pair with my processor and motherboard. So far for my build i have:

-AMD FX-6300
-Asus M5A97
-8gig Corsair Vengeance RAM (Soon to come)

I will be hooking my PC up to my 24" Vizio 1080p LED TV. So I was wondering if the EVGA GTX 650 1gb would be enough to support the 1080p resolution when watching videos on Netflix and playing World of Warcraft at Medium to High Settings. Aiming for 40+fps.
And also not trying to spend to much money.

Any advice?

Yep. The 1GB 650 will be fine. In newer games 2GB is better at 1080p, but with WoW 1GB is plenty for 1080p.
The 650 itself is a good card and should run WoW at ultra 40+ fps.


Perfect! Just what I needed to know!
