Helle everybody,

 

I'm a first time builder and don't know which video card to choose. I have a budget of 600$ Canadian dollars. I will be doing school works, web browsing, gaming and light video editing with vegas pro 13 . I want to keep this pc for 4-5 years. I'll be taking good care of the pc . 

 

Thankyou all!.

If building new or if you have a computer and need a graphics card then just get a 970/980 depending on your pc

600 dollars for the whole build or for 1 GPU only? If the whole build is 600, a R9 270X would be great.

600 dollars for a GPU: go for a 970
