Need help with the best video card with my soon to be build

[Dqbars]

So I have everything ready to buy but I have an excess of $100-110 to spend on upgrading my video card. Here is my current build (I do not need OS(Windows 7), PSU(Antec 550W), Keyboard+Mouse, or a Monitor.)

So what i want is maybe a upgraded video card that will perform better than the asus radeon HD 7770. If anyone can help link me a better video card for my open leftover money I would appreciate it. I would like to run BF3 at high settings if possible or as close with a good fps. Most games will be FPS shooters, MMOS.

Preferred websites are Nxic and newegg Thanks!!!

So your Budget is around $200 for GPU?

 

[kennymac9]

if you budget it 100$ save it and get a better gpu when you have enough

 

[Dqbars]

yes around that!

Best is to save a little more like $30
and get 7870 or GTX 660

7870 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202010
That is maybe you can get.

Or else 7850 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202004

You should be good in both cards:

Nice

Thats why we are here

Yup, remove that Aftermarket CPU cooler.
You don't need one with 3470. I too have that Processor.
You cannot OC your 3470 too much. So, you don't need one.

Or... don't buy the CPU cooler, since you won't be overclocking.

You can also can drop the CD reader if it's only going to be used for installing Windows and games - that can all be done with a USB stick now.

EDIT: Wow I'm slow.
