This is the computer I want to get: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TD83jX

I didn't choose a graphics card yet. If i don't choose one i'm gonna get a AMD Radeon HD 4770.

But which Graphics card should I get. Maybe a GTX 760, or a 780. But my budget is $700-$830

But I feel bad if I get a graphics card because I will make my uncle feel like I wasted his time for him bothering about giving me a graphics card. My mom said who cares. If you think it's gonna make him feel bad, and your not gonna get a great GPU just because of feelings?..... He would understand.

So what GPU do you guys suggest?

Why do u have a $50 optical drive 😛 no need for an optical drive honestly, I downloaded my OS from a USB and I download all my games direct from Steam or Amazon or Origin, I never burn CDs or anything. Most people don't use their optical drive 😛
