Help With GPU

[Shaneration]

hello all just joined the forum.

Names shane. nice to meet you all

 

I Would like some assistance/help with what kind of graphics card i should get for my system.

I Already have my Mobo And Case These are

 

The Corsair Carbide Series 200r.

Gigabyte 97A-DS3P

 

i have already picked out CPU and GPU at my price point. im dead certain this is the CPU i want to get but i know very little about GPU's and im looking to use it for gaming. games like Skyrim, latest MMO's, Diablo 3, FarCry 3, Dragon Age, DeadSpace And More.

 

ASUS GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5

AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8350 4.00Ghz

 

the budget i have set aside for each of these is £150 (Approx 240$) but i do have the option to wait a little bit more time and save some extra money so the budget isnt really set in stone more of a goal i set myself it can be changed in some circumstances.

 

i plan to have my CPu watercooled by a H60 for some lower temps and possibly overclock slightly.

 

so thats about what iv decided on. if anyone could help me with graphics cards or if u have any other suggestions about a part id be very happy . its my first pc build so i dont really know much about building except youtube vids iv seen so part recomendations would be great

 

look forward to chatting with you all.

Welcome to the forums, that suggestion is fine.  Or the Radeon R9 270X or the Radeon R9 270.

Go with an 8320 (Better Price to performance than 8350) then maybe go for a 760

Also welcome to the forum

the gpu should be fine and don't get the h60 get at least the h80i

[GunnAthax]

I would recomend going for a 8320 http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/processors/amdpiledriverfx/fd8320frhkbox.html

and spend the money you saved on a more powerful gpu like a 270X http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/processors/amdpiledriverfx/fd8320frhkbox.html

[UnknownEngineer]

Yeah, get the 8320 instead, for better value. Also, you could get something better than a h60, ask other for info on that. And lastly a 270X or even a 280X (if you can stretch you budget).

Im running a fx8350 and the r9 270 just got the r9 from novatech got the xfx model with BF4 for £130 which I just loked at the website they dont have in stock any more doh 

 

its clocked at 1100mhz gpu fans are noisy at 100% but it never gets there just sits around 50% I can play full 1080p on tomb raider and fry cry 3 hope this helps 

 

as said also get the 8320 and just clock to 4ghz to save money I got the 8350 in a silly deal well over a year ago 

 

with thos saving your be able to get the h100I

[lachyman]

Get the FX8320 with Hyper 212 EVO and spend the rest on a 760.

that GPU is ok, but I recomend a 760 like this http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperClocked-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-2765-KR/dp/B00DHW4HXY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391729495&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+760
