GPU upgrade for rig

[042]

Ok I want to buy a new GPU for my rig

 

Current Specs:

AMD Phenom II x6 1090t @ 4ghz

Noctua NH-D14

Gigabyte 890FXA-UD5

Corsair Vengeance 8gb ram kit

AMD HD 5770

CM 750w psu

 

Constraints:

- It needs to be able to play CSGO properly

- It needs to be able to play GTA V without lag (Current GPU won't play it on lowest according to specs)

- It needs to run at decent temps not like this card idling at 50 degrees and 70-80 on load

- It needs to be under $200 AUD ($250 at maximum)

I will be purchasing from PC Case Gear unless someone finds it cheaper in Aus

 

These are my current choices but I am open to other choices

 

Nvidia: GTX 960, GTX 770

AMD: r9 280, 270x, 7950

GTX 960 or R9 280X

I'd go with GTX 770. But R9 seems nice. 7950 Consumes alot of power... most 7000 series consumes alot of power also especially 7990

@042 This is the best option.

Dont go for 2GB of VRAM unless you want to reduce settings heavily , no need for that.

Yeah these would be 2 good choices. Thanks

Nvidia seem to be doing well these days so I might consider a 960 or 770. thanks.

okay do NOT get GTX960 it's not worth your Money..

Look to buy 280 or 280X or if you can find 7950 New.

 

That GPU is really good, i have MSI R9 280X and i love it.
