Hey Everyone!

So I have the Ryzen 7 processor with the Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming Board w/16 Gigs RAM.. Currently I have the AMD Radeon HD 7970/R9 280X card and since the rest is new I'm thinking I should probably update that as well.

Any suggestions on a good kick ass Card?

Thank You!

Hey Vapour,

Thanks for the reply! I mostly use it for work, taking customer service calls. But I would like to learn some GOOD Graphics games like Assassins Creed 4 or 5 whichever's out now I dunno. I was thinking probably $200 to $275 maybe? The monitor question I'm not so sure about. I'm actually using a 32 inch television, 1440X900 res. I don't know how find the refresh rate. It probably sucks whatever is. And I've been using the VGA port on the TV with a DVI adapter to the card. Do you think I should be using the HDMI instead? Does it matter? My PSU is a Thermaltake SP-850M 850W Modular Smart Series Power Supply.

I was right. Refresh rate is only 59hz I should probably be looking into a monitor but I use this for my TV as well so I'm a little conflicted.

Thanks Again!!
