Need help choosing graphic card

[charpidis]

So..I am building a gaming PC, but I cant choose graphic card..
So I'm choosing between GTX 560/GTX 560 ti 2gb/GTX 570/EVGA GTX 580?
My cpu is I5-2500K, don't know the motherboard yet, but ill choose.
Don't know the limit $$ because in my country every part is like 30% higher cost and we are not with $$ so yeah just tell me good graphic cards, which are worth it..Asus or gigabyte motherboard for the processor?
Thanks in advance.

if budget is not an issue then straightly get gtx580.

i have a gainward golden sample gtx 560ti,it works well,but if i had the money i would go for the gtx580 for sure

Well..some people say gtx 580 is overpriced, but i'll buy i5 2500k so I can save more and invest it into GPU..so
EVGA GTX 580?and do you think i5 2500k is the best choice?and what motherboard for i5 2500k should I get?Asus or gigabyte.?

motherboard: asus p8z68 vpro
cpu: intel core i5 2500k
gpu: gtx 580
thats the best deal.

 

[charpidis]

and what about HDD?I guess for gtx 580 ill need 850-watt power supply?
I'm thinking of getting a western black caviar 1tb for HDD.
With that pc..I hope ill run every game lol

From what I know, a GTX 670 would be faster, cheaper, cooler and more power efficient. You'll have a rough time finding one, but I'd say it's worth it.

 

[Murissokah]

It's hard to justify anything other than the i5-2500k for CPU, so +1 on that. Between ASUS and Gigabyte, I'd stick to ASUS with which I've good past experiences, and their cards have been easier to come by.

Aside from the GTX 580, which I'd trade for a GTX 670, I second xtreme5 's recommendation. The black caviar sounds good too.

Agreed - if you're going to be purchasing a GPU you might as well get bang for your buck. You can purchase an additional one down the road if you feel a single card isn't meeting your needs but the 670 is a hoss. My friend just upgraded to an EVGA 680 and BF3 looks phenomenal on his rig. I don't know that I can justify spending that much money on a GPU but it's very tempting.

Ah so you're basically saying that GTX 580 is overpriced?If I get gtx 580 ill need better motherboard like xtreme5 said, but that means I wont get it soon cuz i dont hve that much money hehe..What are good gpu other than gtx 580?670 is too expensive in my country ^^ 700$+
What about EVGA GTX 580 1536MB?GTX 560 2gb?
I am sure about the cpu i5 2500k tho im not sure about the gpu? with gtx 580 i will need 1920x hd monitor right?

i've have told you before in my first post gtx580 has still ultimate performance, and yeah for that resolution it is a good deal.

 

[charpidis]

Well because of gtx 580 ill have to buy good motherboard and that's higher than my budget so dunno..friend of mine says black caviar is the best for hdd..
What about GTX 570?or GTX 580 1536mb(EVGA) cuz that isn't that expensive in my country..560 2gb?

 

[UAhmed]

What about radeon hd 7870 ???? what is its price in ur country?

 

[UAhmed]

if ur selecting between gtx 560 and 570 i'd say go for the gtx 570

gtx 580 1.5gb..

Why don't you tell us your budget in your currency and country you are from 😉. We'll be able to explore more options and give you the best solution.

 

[charpidis]

Well..I'd like to get gtx 580 but my PCs motherboard burned and I don't have PC..only one but with 1gb ram -.- pain.My point is..I can buy gtx 580 it's not problem to save money for the next month but I dont have PC so I want to buy $$ with the saved money.Is it necessary 1920x monitor for gtx 580? because I'm sure my monitor isnt 1920x..

 

[charpidis]

I'm from Bulgaria.My current budget is around 1900 BGN(1250$?)but every part is like 30-40% increased..i7 2600k is 320$ but in Bulgaria it's 400$+.
It is possible to buy from abroad simply because it is cheaper but the wait time ahh
(It doesn't let me edit my message so I double post,sorry.)

I found a Bulgarian shop website sms.bg, but it's quite poor: I couldn't find any suitable power supply and there were basically no PC cases or decent CPU coolers. I made you a list though:

It's missing a power supply, and, preferably, it would be nice to change the CPU cooler and the case.

If you know any other websites, give links, and I'll be able to make more builds for you .

Though I'm planning on buying them via internet because it is cheaper also is EVGA GTX 580 1536MB good?(are there better gpu for around that $$?)What motherboard will I need for gtx 580 1.5gb?.Some people said I should get nvidia gpu if my cpu is Intel?Why is that.

Thank you bytheway for helping me much appreciated.

U could get a radeon hd 7950. It has less gpu temp, and much less power consumption. here are the benchmarks

this forum might help choosing between gtx 580 or hd 7950

[charpidis]

What if I get GTX 560 2 GB?In bulgarian forum they told me 560 is very good choice and later I could buy 2nd 560 2gb?What do you think

read this. Hope it might help

 

[UAhmed]

I think hd 7950 is very good at overclocking if u OC it'll catch up to 2 gtx 560 in some games. I've also heard that 2gtx 560 sli cause much more temp. and noise. I'm not sure about this.

I personally don't prefer to sli. I am just happy with a single card Its ur choice now
