Hey! I was wondering what graphics card i should go with its my first build and my budget on the card is max 450$.

Im gonna use the card for gaming (titanfall, BF4 and a few other games) but also for some light editing and 3D modeling (Cinema 4D).

I want to be able to run most games at medium/high settings 60FPS any ideas for a graphics card that can do that?

AMD R9 290. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-100362vxsr <-- this if you can spare another $15, it's the best. 

 

There's also the Tri-X: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-1003622sr

R9 290. I'd go with a Tri-X or Vapor-X if you can afford it from Sapphire

R9 290 Tri-X is pretty good for the money, but if it's $10 more the Vapor-X is great.

Welcome to the forum! :)

 

If you can, get an MSI Twin Frozr Radeon R9 290. You're going to play all games at ultra settings on 1080p or even 1440p.

get an r9 290, but don't bother with Asus DirectCUii for 290/290x, or Gigabyte windforce either if you have any intention of overclocking.

I second this statement
