What is a good graphics card.

What is a good graphics card? I am building my own desktop. I don't know that much about parts and compatibility but I would like to build a gaming computer and I would like to know some good types of graphics cards and where you can buy them. Any price I am just looking at ones that run well.

First of all, follow your own topics ^

 

Second, we need to know your Location and budget.

@trinityrthomas 980 ti. But they are expensive.

 

What is your budget?

 

EDIT:

@DominicNikon, @GamerPro11, you beat me to it already

Kay so.

 

If you are someone who is like "Well i got me a 1080P Monitor but i got me about 150-200$ for my christmas money" then i would sure as hell look into an R9 380 (Try for the 4GB One if you can), or maybe go on the Used Markets and try for a R9 280X or 7970 or 7950 or try and get a Lucky GTX 780.

 

if you are someone with aboot 250-350$ in their Budget and they are ethier running 1080P or 1440P Then a R9 390 would be the card to go for, unless you like Nvidia's features and certain aspects of the GTX 970

 

Or if you are just a tad above 200 but dont want to go upto near about 300, then the R9 380X would be the thing for you and that would do 1080P and probably 1440P pretty alright.

 

If you got a ton of money and are running ethier 1080P 144hz 1440P or even upto 4K then i would Look into a 980Ti, Then if anything above then i'd just add another 980Ti or 2.

 

What CPU are you thinking of getting?

Some cases it might be worth going a little down on the CPU to grab the much superior graphics card, Best example at the top of my head being originally 4790K/6700K and a 980, where you can go down to a 4690K/6600K and use the savings for a 980ti.

 

on the other hand a 4460 and a 380X would probably be wiser over a 390/970 and a i3 4170

 

(then again if you are doing editing and rendering i would keep the i7)
