I am building a PC my first time. I have chosen everything, but I am not sure about the graphics card.

I have all my parts here- http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/3yZnD3

I am thinking of buying a Asus Redeon R7 360, but there are a lot of other options out there and i am confused.

I don't need anything fancy just maybe 1080p gaming of mid settings and multitasking.

could you use a website like g2a to get windows for cheap? and is 700 your final budget

I'd possibly go with a GTX 950 if you need CUDA, but maybe an AMD card would be better if you didnt need CUDA acceleration

For $880.62 I changed:

GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 950 2GB

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor

MOBO: MSI B85M-G43 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

 

Everything else I left

 

You should be able to run for example GTA V on High settings in 1080p

[i'm planning to get these parts myself]

Its very good, but I only wanted to ask about the GPU because I am happy about all the other parts.

 

You can't play certain games with a dual-core CPU

Please don't get windows 8.1 for the same price I got windows 10 at. It's really not that bad. At least don't buy it at that price

Shipping sucks
