GTX 960

Thanks rockie_

I will look into the GTX 960.

GTX 960 is over 200$ though. Nevertheless, highly recommendable GPU

 

[ghjei2002]

I was just looking at prices and they are over $200 is there any others that are cheaper?

 

[rockie_]

I'd say go for an R9 280 while they are still available, great performance for under $200

Ok thanks to all I will look into both the R9 280 and the GTX 960. I just prefer NVIDIA over AMD (ATI).

I got my new video card (graphics card) and its a Radeon R9 270X and I'm really happy with it. All of my games play better then before and i can play future games as well.
