I was trying to pick the cheapest stuff I could while still, hopefully, being able to handle upcoming games like Witcher 3 and MGSV good enough at 1080p(at medium or better).
Not sure if I did that very well or not, but I thought I did.
I would be coming from a PS3 and a laptop that has a 6750M so I figure even a 260x would blow me away, lol.
