hey so i am building a gaming PC and if i am say spending around $230 on a CPU, which GPU should i get?

 

i want to get a core I-5 but i don't know what GPU to get. I want a nvidia card for the smoothness and for the extra software and i don't really care which manufacturer i use (i.e. sapphire, gigabyte, asus) so it would help allot if i could get some advice.

Well a 4690K for sure on the CPU. But if you ask which nvidia card, we could say anything from a GTX 610 to a Titan Z. Give us a price point.

You mean GT 610.

There's no help to that... In a few days the forum will get back to its regular usage... but I don't mind the new people though.

yea i hope some of them stay and learn and then later use that to help other people. Just those people that come for giveaways, post some random stuff and never come back... I dislike them!
