i want to spend no more than 350 all together

go for the MSI GTX 770; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127741

and a decent power supply. 600 watt bronze rated or better. that is your best bet.

how high will i be able to go settings wise and are there better options for it price wise cause if so i think i'd be willing to spend maybe 50 more if its worth it

that PSU is way too rich for his budget. here is a $60 seasonic 520 W PSU that will easily handle the GTX 770: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094

the GTX 970 will be in the $400-$500 price range. way out of his budget. that MSI card will come out to be like $280 after rebate. even when the GTX 970 does go on sale, which will probably be november the earliest, the GTX 770 will still be selling around $270 and will still be a good value.

$60 for seasonic PSU
$285 for GTX 770
total will be $345

games will run at max settings or very close to max selling at 1080p. some games are not designed as well and don't use resources efficiently. but this card will still kick butt

Wow i didn't know the 970 would be that expensive upon release. I still recommend the psu becuase its only $10 more, 750 watts, and 80+ gold. If he really cant spare the $10 then the seasonic is great.

Here. The GTX 970 will be sub-$400, around $350, and I would wait for that personally.
