I'm currently building a system with i5-3570k and I'm looking for budget gpu of around 150-180 dollars.

 

Im pretty casual gamer mostly cs:go, diablo 3, alot of indie games and some mmo's so nothing too intensive but still want good graphics.

 

I'm also on 1920x1200 monitor if that does anything :O thanks!

Maybe a 7850? Go on Linus' Youtube channel and search benchmark showdown. He has a bunch of videos comparing graphics cards at different price points, and playing a bunch of popular titles, so you will be able to see real-world performance.

The 7850 is a great value card--get the cheapest one you can find and overclock it yourself.

Yea another vote for the 7850. It's one of the best bang for your buck GPUs out there besides the 7870. Plus it outperforms its NVIDIA counterpart which is the 660(non ti). The free games are a bonus
