Help me decide

[JasonSPQR]

Hello awesome citizens of the internet,

I'm planning to build my own PC, but I'm still not which graphics card to use. I will mainly use it to play CS:GO at medium settings and record it @ 1080p 60fps at the same time. Power consumption and overclocking potential don't matter. Below are my current specs:

Intel core i5 4460

Asus Z87-A motherboard

8GB of DDR3-1600 RAM

Please tell me which card i should use or if there are any problems with my setup.

Thank you!

budget? country??

Well, for that you're looking at something like a 280X (even a 260X could manage it, but the 280X is better bang for buck)

if you can get 970 or 960 shaod do 1080p ultra 4xAA 60fps no problem since u can get 200+fps on ultra with gtx 660 but i woad say 960 or 280x

What if I told you that I only have $150 for the card. I am willing to cut down some graphics detail for capture framerate, so I'm looking for the cheapest one.

i use a 260x and on medum settings it gets 150+ fps (cpu is a athalon x4 760k its crap i know ) your i5 should bring more though

again, what currency, If its USD then it's between a nVidia 750 ti, or AMD 260X or 270

I've used the 760k before and it's a good pairing for the 260x but for rendering it shit

[Goldensapling]

270 or 750ti are perfect CSGO cards 

[matwoodson]

With that budget you will bring in more than 60 fps, you can run on ultra details and record and probably be up around 100 fps+

luckily im getting a 4790k soon

Erm I am not sure but the Nvidia 960 or AMD 270/270X is all you need for the game but I would rather if I where you get the 280 or 280X.

 

[alicskysareblue]

depends on your budget good bang for the buck  are the 270x or the gtx 960.

 

you dont really need those 980ti's or 290x to play games on a decent setting.

 

also on a side note anyone recommending a 970 for 1080p is wrong, that graphics card is complete overkill for that resolution, either use it for DSR  or just get a 960, no point in spending 100 dollars more on something you aren't going to fully utilize the gpu's capablities
