best $350 GPU

[JUMPERMAN]

What is the best $350 GPU. and what would be the best GPU that would work well with my current hardware. the 280x has been suggested multiple times to me. please note that i plan to crossfire/sli these cards in the future. i use my pc for gaming+video editing, 3d animation, effect ect.

Specs:

Fx 8350 + h60 watercooler

16 gb 1866 ddr3

Asus fx MOBO

tb hdd + 126gb ssd

NZXT phantom 410

Thanks for the feedback

have a good day/night

IMPORTANT: i also live in AUS, so pricing is a little different!!!!

R9 280X, if you can get one for that cheap, R9 290.

 

On the NVIDIA side, GTX 770 if it is that cheap.

I agree with getting a 280x

"a little" 

 

With $350 in Australia, you may may be able to get a GT 640m.

thanks! sorry i didnt know!

[Clyne]

well another option would be the gtx 760 but the r9 280x is better or you can ditch the h60 and get a hyper 212 evo and use extra money on a better gpu.

[NoctHorn]

I would get a 280X (but you can still get the cheapest one for nearly $100 cheaper Maybe not in AUD)

Yes actually, i looked at your pc specs and it is exactly the same as yours. what do you think of it? is it worth it?

Make that a non reference r9 280x. Just not the XFX Double Dissipation, mine has huge problems (well might be my motherboard, but still you can get better cooling designs than the XFX.

edit: Kicked myself for not reading your whole post, i'm in Aus as well. $350 should still be ok, though $370 for the ASUS 280x would be a worthwhile upgrade

[Mateyyy]

R9 280X 

[aduman]

Get an R9 290 if you can find a cheap one.

[bry.yyyy]

i seems too late LOL

In  my opinion it's GTX 770

[Guest Onlynormalgamer]

Why did you go with 16gb or ram? For gaming 8 is enough,and 16 won't improve your fps(maybe will but only for like 1-2fps in same games).
Also if the price is not to much on intels CPU's I would go with i5-4690k,which is better,and later on you can buy evo 212 if you want to overclock. You could overclock with stock cooler but not more then 4.0ghz to be stable.

I personally don't like to give more money on case,when I don't max everything else. But this is personal choice,it all depends on you.
I myself,with do this,and then bought gtx 770(if you can afford it with that money in your country),because it is better then 280x,and has shadowplay and better drivers and nvidia cards runs cooler and with less noise. But I repeat it all depends. In my country nvidia doesn't cost a lot more then amd,so I would go with nvidia.
But if you can affor 290 that would be better choice just be sure to get vapor-x,or some good other brand.

he does video stuff too

[Guest Onlynormalgamer]

But I think so that i5-4690k + 8gb ram +evo 212 is better then 8350 + water cooler + 16gb ram

Clock that cpu at 4.5ghz and there you go,much better.

But I am just sharing what I would do. Also he could go with 16fb instead of evo 212,and if he want to overclock it,then just later buy it.

And like I said I would save some money on case. Not to mention that intel CPU use less power so you are probably won't need psu with more W.

But it is alll personal choice. Some people like amd cpu's even if intel ones are better at high end.

Well then i5-4690k is still better choice. Instead of eve 212 you can take 16gb of ram and there you go.
