What is the best GPU that I can buy for 160$? It has to be from newegg. I want to buy this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... I wanna play games like thief,tomb raider,soul suspect,rust,the forest and COD at med-high.

CPU- AMD Phenom quad core 9600
Monitor- Acer x193w at 1680 x 1050 res

If you possibly can give me some other suggestions!

get that card. no nvidia card in that price range will come close for those games, or any games. even if you could get a 660 for 160bucks, the 270 would still beat it, and a 660 is better than a 750Ti.

Newegg currently has a sale on this card, a mail-n rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150605&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= It will do what you want it to do, and you get some extra money.

This card is also on sale on Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127769&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= It's a slightly better card than the one you linked, and it's really cheap.

The one you've linked is just fine, but both the other cards are slightly cheaper, making them a better buy.

Is it a monkey? Is it an ape? I don't care, I LOVE'EM!

R9 270/270X is the best bet for that price, so I'd go for that offer or the one @TeddyMcSwag linked if I was you, it's the best GPU around that price point.

Will the r9 270 be bottle necked by my cpu?

 

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe your cpu would handle a 270 fine. anything better than a 270 might be pushing it.

Terrible card now that's it's obsolete. The 270x which is the new HD 7870 can be had for the same price and is a faster card.
