Im looking to buy a new graphics card for my gaming pc. You mightve already seen me post stuff similar to this, sorry, just want to be sure.

my motherboard is: dq965gf
I will be using an intel core 2 quad q6600 cpu with 6gb ram

my current gpu is an amd radeon hd 4670 diamond

I will be usingit for gaming.
my main game is DayZ and I can play on medium settings.
I hope to play battlefield and evolve, on atleast medium settings.

my budget is about up to 100-120. The lowe the better, obviously.
ive been looking on ebay a lot, as it is cheaper to buy a used ine, but not sure which exactly to look for.
any help is greatly appreciated.

Since you are willing to buy on ebay I would personally pick up a used HD 7950 or a GTX 660. The 660 can be had for around $110 or the radeon for around $130 with the radeon being a bit faster.

Both of those cards are about 75% faster than the 260X.

I would suggest you read (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107.html). The R7 260X is a good recommendation if you have the power connectors for it. Remember buying off ebay used gets you not warranty. You never know how the card was used. For sure it will have some dust from use as well as wear on the fan(s). I have sold cards I upgraded on ebay but always clean them first and am sure they are perfect. I can not speak for other sellers. Buy new if you can.

The only reason I am looking at used is because I dont think I can get ay good ones new within my budget.

im open to any options as long as I can play games such as evolve and battlefield on atleast medium settings.
