Hello! Could you please elaborate more? Does your monitor have freesynce/gsync technologies? Do you prefer more VRAM (GDDR5) ???

If you have a Freesync monitor/planning to purchase an AMD Freesync monitor then get the AMD RADEON 460 4GB ROG STRIX. I would even go as far as checking if your motherboard supports Nvidia SLI or AMD crossfire for future multiple-gpu upgrades. In conclusion, I highly recommend both graphics cards however, purchasing the ASUS AMD RADEON 460 4GB ROG STRIX is the most practical decision in this case. Remember that both of the graphics cards have great cooling and you must have the correct recomended PSU Wattage Capacity from the manufacturer's page (380 WATT minimum).

This is the link to my monitor: HKC 2476A LCD Monitor https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01ENG41MO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_jW3NzbFF2R0FS and i am kind of a scrub to pc so i dont really know what that other stuff means. If you need my processor or motherboard i can tell you. I have 500W PSU

No worries, I believe you would have the average power supply of over 400 Wattage anyway. If you could provide the motherboard as an addition that would be great. I will be able to tell you if it will support multiple-gpu configurations in the future.

My motherboard is a ga-f2a78m-hd2

The GIGABYTE ga-f2a78m-hd2 motherboard supports up to 2 AMD Graphics Cards. In this case, I must recommend the ASUS AMD 460 4 GB ROG STRIX because it will give you more options to upgrade to one more graphics card in the future, for an overall less price. This is simply because since the motherboard supports two AMD GPUS there will be no need to buy another motherboard unless if you decided to buy the GTX 1050, which means you need to buy another motherboard for NVIDIA sli.

Absolutely no problem my friend! I assure you this is the correct decision. 4 GB of VRAM makes sure that your video games do not get put to low settings because it tells you that you "Do not have enough Graphics memory to run at high settings." Which I remember getting when I was using a 2 GB VRAM GPU. You will get the best performance for your money and get the most out of your computer! AMD processor, AMD supported MOTHERBOARD and AMD GPU! Great setup! You may happily game now 😀

MERGED QUESTION
Question from LennyBoy : "Does anyone know what frames my PUBG will run at. I have an AMD A6-6400k 4.1 GHz dual core processor, a ga-f2a78m-hd2 motherbo"

I am getting a graphics card soon and was wondering if anyone could estimate my frame on PUBG for me.

And im getting a ASUS AMD Radeon RX 460 4GB ROG STRIX OC

Please don't start a new thread to ask the same basic question. Thank you.
