Quality Graphics Card for a Novice PC Builder

[DharmaRecruit]

Hi.

My name is Stephanie and I am a novice when it comes to building a PC. I want to build a powerful gaming computer - within reason - and although I have read extensively on the process of building your own PC I would very much appreciate any advice from experienced builders and gamers here on the forum. I would like to purchase a fast, quality graphics card to suit an i7 processor (16 GB memory, 1 TB Hard Drive) and a 25-27'' LED monitor. I play a variety of easy and demanding PC games such as Lego's series of film games, Medal of Honour, Championship Manager, FIFA, Call of Duty etc so I would like to eliminate the usual sluggishness of my system to give me a fluid gameplay experience.

Many thanks! : )

I will say GeForce GTX 690 or the newer Geforce 700 equivalent. Nvidia support physX and cuda.

If you want to play only on single 1080p monitor you don't need core i7 Neither GTX 690. GTX 670 i5-3570 is perfect for 1080p

You will see high cards for games like metro last light. But they consider larger resolution as default these days.
