New Build - Which GPU?

[hazza_ob]

im wanting to build an affordable gaming computer and i need a good graphics card that is under £140 or $220 if you're in the U.S.

at the moment i have chosen the AMD Radeon 7950 which comes in at about £110/$170. 

which graphics card would you suggest within this price range? it can be slightly over but preferably under the limit!

 

 

thanks

7950 is a great buy for $170

if you can find a 770 or 280x for around 200-250 USD, thats a pretty good deal and thats what theyre going for for the most part atm

I'll have a look, thanks. Is there anything from Nvidia that you would suggest?

more money spent on a card doesn't always mean it's better. good buy on the 770 though

'twas a great deal m8, but tbh in the gpu market, more money generally means better performance, cant say the same for all pc parts tho

notice how i said generally tho, sometimes the difference in price doesnt justify the performance jump.

its an extra £50 making it around £180 which kind of defeats the point. oh well thanks for telling me about this though any other good cards you can think of just put them down in the comments
