What Power Supply do you have? (so we can know if your PSU has enough wattage for the GPU we recommend)

What CPU do you have? (so we can know if the CPU will hold back the card we recommend by a lot)

What resolution are you playing at?

And what games do you play? (because some games performs better on AMD side, some performs better on Nvidia side and everyone here agrees they performs shit on Intel side)

Rx 480/580 4gb are usually around that price.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

I'd recommend this drive, if you're willing to go a little over then the 1060 @hconverse02 recommended is better.

480 is a bit worse, and I've heard the Dual is a bit loud.

 

Granted if op is fine with it being louder this is probably fine. Otherwise I still stick to the pulse.

I clicked on the wrong tab there, thought that was a 580. I'm having a good day
