What graphics card should i get?

[Scarmike]

i have an AMD A-10 5800K, and right now i am running off of integrated graphics (AMD radeon HD 7660D). i dont have a graphics card, which i am planning on getting one. i was looking at a GTX 760. ive been playing Dayz pretty good on low settings. also i having been playing arma 3 and rust. These games do not run too smooth i have around 10-15 fps (so i kinda want to play bigger games like these). i heard the the A10 5800k bottlenecks the GTX 760. So, What graphics card would be best for me? i am willing to spend up to $300 or around that.

NOTE: I am getting into this pc gaming, so i am a noob to my computer.

get a better cpu for those games, as they are cpu heavy games that don't take much advantage of a powerful gpu if you don't have the cpu to back it up

I don't foresee your processor bottlenecking the gtx 760. I find the 760 to be a great midrange card for todays games. You won't be able to run too many games on max or ultra settings, but you will be able to have decent settings and it should last you a few years at the least.
Try this EVGA superclocked model

The 760 will indeed be bottlenecked by his cpu, there is no ifs ands or buts about it

I apologize, you are correct. I'm not really sure what I was looking at. I have no knowledge of AMD anything either.

so what graphics card would be best with my CPU i have right now? im fine without running ultra high settings, just decent to play the game normally

look for one with good sli, or (like first post) get a better CPU AND maybe mid-ranged card for sli later)) for the games you mentioned, especially ARMA.

But other games are mostly GPU intensive and a 660 that i currently own kicks ass! though today i felt a little odd playing crysis 3 with some of the MXSXSD Bull turned to max (i put it back to the SXMSMSXDD (MSAA to SXAA i dont know?) and was back to it being great smooth game that looks.. the same? but less choppy.

so......

and latley (always?) SLI > CF.. don't mess with ATI ati 😉 (actually i never owned one so i shouldn't comment, purely fanboy love (kidding.. but honestly don't have much else to go on with this so it will look like that, which it technically is haha (self call out ftw.. stop using ()()( and no more ... and you in general suck at life birdsofwar)()()(got it()())))

(i love intel too)
