Whats the budget?

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

Assuming OP really doesn't know where to start.

A 970 would be good, cheaper and as powerful as a 780 (depending on where you live, some places in Europe is reversed, in Australia it's as expensive)

But like the first reply said, what is the preferred budget? Also maybe purposes, too, since I'm assuming "Games only"

Now about your thread... From listed above GTX 770 or R9 280x, but I suggest you GTX 970/980.

250

250 USD? are you in the USA?

 

If you are in the US you can afford this R9 280X, it's the best you can find for this price range in fact it's the only 280X that comes under the 250$ tag and it's a good one, the cooler on it is very good, i'd go with that:

...and you get 3 free games with it!

 

...if it's not within budget you next best one would be an R9 280...which is a slower card though...i'd recommend this one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127789&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

You also get 3 free games and a 20$ gift card with this one.

ok thx so much

i don,t suggest nvidia at this price point because the cards they offer performs worse than AMD in this price range...for example the GTX 760 is slower than the R9 280 and the GTX 770 is also not as good as the R9 280X...both nvidia cards cost more.
