So for Christmas (I know it has passed) my dad said I can finally upgrade my poor gt 430 to a new gpu for around $200. Can you guys recommend a new good gpu for around $200? (Max is $250)

Has to be made by asus btw (he's a asus and nvdia fanboy...)

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

It sucks that you are being limited to an Asus/Nvidia card at that price point. Its just under what you can get an Asus 760 for but at the same time if you could get an amd card you could get a r9 285 or 280X which would be much better than nvidia can offer at that price point. 

 

My suggestion is if you can convince your dad to get a 280x or 285 get one of those but if nothing else try to get an gtx 760.

So which one is better gtx 760 280x or 285 because I convinced him to get a amd card or nvdia

But it has to be a asus card (he says it will give better preformance, we all know that's bs)

How hard could it be to write a topic without this many mistakes?!?

 

OP get a R9 280X this will be the best thing to do. If it hasn't to be Asus you could scout for a R9 290 but the DCU II cooler is crap on that card.
