Hi guys,

 

i have a 500$ budget and I'm gonna buy an ssd , a mechanical hard drive and some ram and then i have 280$ left for a new video card...

 

what whould i buy ? i was thinking about a gtx 760 or an hd 7950 but i really don't now i would prefer the 'msi gtx 760 gaming' cause i will be doing light overclocks and it's mainly for gaming. I prefer the technologies of nvidia (gpu boost 2.0 , physix , cuda , adaptive V-sync) over the amd one's

 

I don't know or this is a good idea but I think I'll be buying the GTX 760

 

what do u guys think ?

 

 

6600K  |  16GB HYPERX  |  GTX1070 FE  |  Z170X-UD3  |  AIR540

If you think the 760 has better features and are happy with its performance, then buy it.

Yes it is , it's to replace my GT640

 

7950 comes with 3 free games, overclocks like a beast and costs about the same.

I don't like the games , the only games i play are battlefield 3 (soon bf4) and minecraft and i won't be overclocking that much and the msi gtx 760 gaming also overclocks like a beast so...
