What Graphics Card Should I Get?

TheComputerGuy2314 · September 24, 2018

My build consists of an i5 - 2500k and z77 mobo, and i plan to overclock. I am only going back this far in intel's lineup since i am being gifted this pc. It does not have a graphics card. What should i get, since i am on a 300 dollar budget for a graphics card, but i need powerful enough one where my graphics card is not a bottleneck since i know that my cpu can max out some frames. I am running a 500 watt psu and thermals is not a problem.

in my oppinion you should get a 1060 6G. it will be bottlenecked, but with a future cpu upgrade (what you WILL need) it should be at its top performance. also check the second hand market, maybe you can get a 1070 for the 300 bucks (in the netherlands its possible)

Get a used 980ti. I got one fr $220 last month.

If u wanna shop new, then I'll recommend u to go with something like an rx580 or gtx 1060 or even a 1070 if u can find it under $300....
