What is the best budget graphics card?

[N00b_of_PCs]

Hello! I'm trying to find the best graphics card for under $150. I hear this graphics card is really solid for the price tho: EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti. Suggest Away!

My motherboard: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-CrossFireX-Motherboard-760GMA-P34-FX/dp/B00EASJ2JI/ref=cm_lmf_tit_2

Processor: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-Processor-Edition/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=cm_lmf_tit_1

Graphics card: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-3751-KR/dp/B00IDG3PRI/ref=cm_lmf_tit_3

The 750ti is a excellent budget gpu since it uses barely any power for the performance you get. The next best card would be the AMD r9 270. Power Cooler actually has a R9 270x for under 150$.

This is for a $400 build, but I can definitely go at least $50 over. BTW I have a 500 watt power supply.

And you've already bought it? 'cause I highly recommend not going for it.

Hmmm....When are you going to upgrade next? Cause I think you should invest into the mobo and psu to ensure easier upgradability.
Or tell me if you are not going to be frequently upgrading.

I'm not too serious about pc gaming. I won't upgrade probably until next january or so. I'm satisfied with my pc as long as it can play games at medium to high settings and a decent fps

Well here it is. Slightly over budget but I think a $20 rebate on the 270 should help.

I like this build, but personally I prefer AMD and their quad or 6 core processors. Thanks though!

 

[ykki]

Don't go with amd quads = not good.
Their hxa core are good but you are stuck with a dead socket if you get amd.

Can you suggest a good quad core then? Be it intel or Amd? Double core are kind of useless now/soon.

You will be surprised by how good the g3258 is (for the money).
I would suggest an i3 but that will take you $40 over budget.

NOTE = How good are you on Mail in rebates?

Not that good. I'll usually just buy the thing without the rebate.

 

[ykki]

The g3258 it is then.

 

[Epic Sasa]

750 ti is great for long lasting since it low power low heat

 

[WildCard999]

It's a bit late but if you haven't ordered those parts pass on the H97 anniversary mb. You cannot overclock on it (most ppl oc the g3258 to get the most out of it) and even though the socket is the 1150 h97 the anniversary boards are only really made for the pentium remakes or i3s and won't benefit if you upgrade to a i5 or i7. Even if you don't oc a h97 pro4 asrock would be a better choice.
