Which GPU should I get?

[NewPCBuild]

After looking through reviews and getting help from the kind experts in this forum, here are the current specs for the new computer that I will be getting for now:

CPU: Intel i5 4590
Mobo: ASRock H97 Pro4
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3 1866MHz
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
Optical Drive: Reusing from an older desktop

I won't be doing any overclocking for my desktop, and will be using it with a 1600x900 Acer v203H monitor. I wanna be able to play my games (BF4, Dota2, etc) on the maxed possible settings at around 60 FPS. Any recommendations on the GPU that I should be getting if I wanna squeeze it into a ~$800 Budget?

What's your PSU ?

You could get a GTX 970 which is a great card.

See review here:http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-970-maxwell,3941.html

Note a cheaper card could easily do what you wanted at that resolution but the card I linked above i believe its possible to get those parts you wanted + that for 800

I think I gonna decide on a GPU first before considering which PSU to get as I'm afraid that it might bottleneck my system.
The GTX 970 costs like at least $500 (USD400) over here. 🙁

Sorry I thought you was American because of you putting your price in dollars.

What's your budget for ALL parts and country?

Anyway, something cheaper like GTX 760/AMD 270X/280 would be good for you as well.

R9 280's are great for 1080p (in your case 900p). 3GB vram, high bandwith and its cheap atm. You cant go wrong there...

For 1600x900 a 970 is over the top. I'm not sure what to recommend though as I don't really know the mid range AMD's

No, I should apologise instead for not stating that clearly. :lol:

I'm from Singapore and here are how the parts are roughly priced.
CPU: Intel i5 4590 *The bundle for both the CPU+Mobo is about SGD390 (USD 300)
Mobo: ASRock H97 Pro4
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB(2x4GB) *DDR3 1866MHz SGD110 (USD84.77)
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB *SGD67.5 (USD52.02)

Below are some of the more popular stores over here.. but there are many other places where prices of certain parts are a little lower.
Tradepac
PCThemes

search pcpartpicker and choose the parts using that it will show you the best prices in your county

MSI R9 270X 2GB GAMING $308
ASROCK B85M-HDS+i3 4130 $231
KINGSTON HYPERX 1600MHz (4GBX2) $115
Power Supplies don't have a price but let's say $80 to be safe.
WD Caviar Blue 1TB $67.5(from wherever you listed above not tradepac)
Those all from tradepac, pctheme list wouldn't display properly


Total: $801.5
Are those the only PC parts you need?

If you're wondering why I didn't get the ripjaws 1866mhz RAM it was because the ripjaws RAM is possibly above the maximum voltage of intel haswell motherboards.

I think to get a good balance between GPU and CPU you should probably reduce your spend on CPU down so you can get a better GPU.

p.s singapore isn't on partpicker.
