What Graphics Card?

[doughnuts]

Hello all!

I finished building my first computer few weeks ago yay! Now I just need a GPU, so here ar my specs.

i5-3570k
Samsung 830 SSD 120 gb
g.Skill 1666 8gb
ASRock z77 pro4
Corsair TX650
Old Antec Mid-tower case
Windows 8

So now all I need I guess Is the graphics card... I don't wanna pay like $400ish so price is an issue but I want something with power.
also AMD or NIVIDA? (I have no clue)

Thanks!

+1 to above question.

sorry about the wait.
sorry if sound stupid but I never did understand the resolution (yes im that dumb).
my current monitor is and old Samsung syncmaster 920wm (im getting a new one soonish)
as for budget... $1 - $225. I can do a bit more if needed.
And as for use, its for games such as, Skyrim and Black ops 2.

For your budget yes.

This and the galaxy are the only nvidia options in your budget.

i trust galaxy cards. I didn't look at the 660 but 660ti i a custom pcb and has more memory bandwidth.


what do you mean by 300-ish? you can get a gtx670 for about 329 and I think I saw one for 309.
