I currently have a GTX 660ti running with a i5-4670k @ 3.40Ghz and thats been doing fine for me but because of the recent release of next-gen consoles game developers are putting more effort into the graphics aspect of the newer games which means that my PC wont be able to run games like GTA V And AC Unity. So i've been thinking of upgrading but im not sure what to.... should I go for a 780ti or a 690? I do plan to add a second card in the future but thats not until I have a better CPU and maybe some better quality RAM. <---- I hope this whole thing doesint sound stupid but im new to PC gaming so give me a break  ;).

There's a graphics card section for a reason buddy

 

 

Also, I'd recommend a r9 280x/ 780 / r9 290, they are great bangs for the buck.

780ti. You can get the asus aftermarket one for 620 on amazon. Pretty good deal.

+1 for an R9 290! Just got one myself and it delivers great quality at a much lower price than a 780. Plus you can add a second without a bridge at all because Crossfire doesn't require bridges on some of the new cards.

Also, I got my R9 290 for $300 on ebay (and could have gotten a cheaper one but I went with a seller with a lot of reviews and similar products). So, very hard to beat that for value.

Between those two, get the 690 if you have the money

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

if you sell that 660 Ti let me know, looking for just a card to hook my monitor up to that isn't my 4690K's integrated GPU

 

For some reason I sold both my 760s (don't game much anymore).. didn't think that through very well.
