Best GPU for under 130$?

[Thebman712]

I think I have decided...the MSI Computer Corp. Video Graphics Card R9 270 GAMING edition

heres a build that should work perfect for you if you have ram and want to save for a ssd you can even crossfire later

You can spend 30 dollars more and get a GTX 750 Ti and depending on the MoBo and case, later on you can buy one more GTX 750 Ti and do SLI.

Here's a link for one:

Hi, I am building my first gaming desktop and I am kind if on a tight budget of around 750$ and I have everything I want with 130$ left over for a graphics card and I was wondering what would be the best choice.

 

P.S. I dont care about power consumption or heat output 

 

P.P.S I have been looking at the 260X

Where do you live? We might be able to whip you together a better build keeping some of the components you want to keep for a better price. We just need to know where you can order from.

 

Oh shit, this doesn't count for all V300's, right ?

From what I hear the early V300's are the good ones. I have one, I get 540 MB/s both read and writes from a drive rated for 450 MB/s read and writes.

He would be better off with a R7 265 which already beats the GTX 750 Ti for nearly the same price.

I've two 650ti's in my rig and they're great. Hardly high end but easily get the job done. Must be in your budget by now. Ill throw up the specs below with an embedded 3dmark scores.

Two GTX 650 Ti's in SLI would cost him over $250.

Don't bother with a h60, just use the stock cooler for now as you don't need to overclock.

[Recon-UK]

R9 270 or 760, both are excellent.

[Cmurra]

I was reviewing my post and I forgot something...I already have an OS (Win 7 pro)

 

loccilucas I will be over clocking

How about this.. I refined my build (numbers are prices, tell me if you find anything lower!)

 

Intel Core i5-4670K                     180

MSI Computer Corp. Video Graphics Card R9 270 GAMING   

                                                   180

MSI Computer Corp. Motherboard ATX DDR3 1333 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z87-G45 GAMING
                                                   125

Corsair Carbide Series 200R      58
                              
WD Black 500 GB                      68

Corsair CX Series 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze
                                                  85     

CORSAIR Hydro Series H60     63

I will be upgrading my graphics card in the future ( maybe another r9 270 in crossfire)

That is why I went with such a high wattage power supply

 this would be good for along time

Never heard of Club 3D but...I will think about that build

No, for their budget you can easily have a build with either a 760 or a 270(X). I recommend doing that over the 750 Ti.

You cant SLI GTX 750s

[GamerDude]

Yep, I didn't realize that lower end nVidia cards like the GTX750 Ti cannot do SLi, was surprised when I found out about it. Not sure about AMD lower cards doing CF as well....

From what I gander the R7 265 and up are whats crossfire capable on the AMD side.

I recently built a low end gaming PC.  I needed it to run BF4 BF42 Minecraft (Yes, I know) and be reliable for school and general computer use.  

I had a near $600 price range, but i needed a monitor so there goes $100.

 

This is my system I got for  about $500

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 750k @ 3.6 GHz http://goo.gl/uRbUju

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHZ Edition By MSI http://goo.gl/4bH1Yc

RAM: 4GB of Patrtiot RAM http://goo.gl/OfiyrN

CASE: Sentey something http://goo.gl/b9uD4Z

MOBO:MSI A88XM-E35 http://goo.gl/qCCuKv

PSU: Corsair CX 430 430 watt 80+ Bronze http://goo.gl/tT4HcM

Storage: I went with an SSD, but go with a 1T WD Blue or something

MON: Acer http://goo.gl/k9N1PE

It is a little over $500, but sales and promos let me get more for less.

BTW, dont get the case, it sucks to say the least. 

[Cmurra]

I am going with the AMD side because I might be mining Bitcoins later down the line  and my friend told me that AMD's structure is better for mining Bitcoins

I am surprised no one has mention the FX-8350. Wouldn't it be preferable to the 4670k if he is doing youtube?

I am not fan-boying. I have a 4770K. Lol

[Recon-UK]

I would go 8320 if trying to save precious cash, otherwise the 4670K is a stellar chip.

[sthzje]

Why don't you get a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo instead of a H60. It only costs around 30 $ and performes incredibly well for that price. And also you will save money for a better GPU. Also, go with a FX-8320, it performes similar to the 4670k and costs less.
