What is better?

[Tydrodron]

I'm planning on upgrading, the graphics card will be first and I have picked one out.
http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/GTX650DC1GD5/

I was just wondering if that is good enough? The one that I am buying is $140 AUD. Is it worth the price?

Edit: Some other choices:
http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/HD77501GD5/ $119.95
http://www.palit.biz/palit/vgapro.php?id=2021 $129.95

Thanks

That's the price at the Egg along with a $10 rebate - so yep, it's a fair price

 

[Tydrodron]

Is it a decent card though?
Also, side note; I live in Australia, so most prices here are around $40 or so higher.

Anyone able to help? Please?

All of these so far are from Ebay, if that's what you mean.

Not knowing what is available, I'd guess you've been doing some research so I'd say yes

The 650 and 7750 are low-end gaming GPUs. They'll play anything on the market, but what settings you get will vary. Ultimately, it's hard to quantify it into "worth the money", so much as "most optimal choice given the money available". What's your overall budget, and what do you plan to play?

My budget is around $140 AUD, and I plan to use it for what I'm using it for now, Games like Skyrim, and Kerbal Space program(Although, that's more a CPU thing). What I have now *can* run these, just not very well.

So, it's for a general use gaming PC.

Well, Scorptec has a 7770 GHz Edition for $135 at the moment: http://www.scorptec.com.au/computer/50393-hd7770-1gd5
Not the most ideal option, but stronger than a 650 or a 7750, and the best I can find on the (admittedly broken) Aussie PC Part Picker in that range.

http://www.hwcompare.com/14642/geforce-gtx-770-vs-radeon-hd-7950/

is a site you might check to compare GPUs, based on the reference design of each

Postage puts that well above my price range, most places consider the area I'm in as "rural"(It's not) so assume $20 postage(or in this case, $29), Can you think of anything that might fit that?


How about this one?

Looks like a fine option. I don't like to buy on Ebay, myself. I don't trust the sellers. However, when on a budget, it's perfectly reasonable. I don't know what exact model that card is by the description, but there shouldn't be a massive variance between ASUS 7770s with that cooler.
