My videocard is too slow for my games, was wondering if someone could find a very good card(s) around $300, preferable something that can last very long so no stock coolers

 

Spec:

i7 950(LGA 1366)

Asus sabertooth X58

6GB RAM 1333MHz

Capstone 550w

Chronos Deluxe 240GB SSD

HAF 912

EVGA GTs 450 FPB

Dual Monitor 21.5" 1920x1080

I assume that you only want this card to support one graphic going on your thread title? :P

Get an GTX 660/760 to not get any bottlenecks.

You see, sometimes two dual graphic card for $300 is sometimes better than a single $300 card.

Not really in almost all cases one graphics card is better

not if you want it to last, if you buy 2 older ones, when does 2 arent enough you got to buy 1 premium card or again 2 new cards, but if you buy a single great card, you can later when you need to buy another at which time it will be cheap and boom you got a great computer again

nvidia gtx setecientos setenta. 770 is the best card for $300 right now  :P

 

edit: according to CoolerMaster's page (http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/landing/haf912/home.php?page=specs) you only get 10.6 inches of GPU clearance, so watch out for that when looking for a card. I know for a fact the gigabyte is too long. The EVGA acx cooler version seems to fit perfectly: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130921

How would I get bottleneck from my spec. Pretty sure my i7 isn't the problem and PCIe 2.0 isnt the problem... RAM could be a problem but aside from that I dont see how my parts would bottleneck a 780, just saying..

RAM will probably have an impact on performance with most new cards. Like others have said, 770 would be your best bet, but you will probably want to get 8GB 1600MHz+ pretty soon.

No it would not. Ive yet to see a card (apart from dual gpus) saturate it...

It depends on the application, put a titan into crysis 2 with that cpu and you'll get a gpu bottleneck to the knee.
