Need a new Graphics Card

[flibberdipper]

Okay, I need a new sub-$100 USD card for my computer with more power than my current card, preferably with a blower-stlye cooler like a reference card has. NewEgg, TigerDirect, and NCIX are preferred.

 

The school is being iffy right now with the internet (blips in and out), so it might take a while to respond.

Whatis your current card?

Oj in your sig. ^^ I would say 7770.

[Lord Pantaloons]

spend more than $100 or it isn't worth it.

i would say this but i am not the best for the information, it is not a blower style cooler as i cannot find one but after rebate it would be $103 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127701

Low end cards are not cost effective

Just get a 7770 or stretch to a 7850 if possible.

Why blower? Open air is better 99% of the time.

Agree thats how it is

It will be a fan that helps exhaust air out of my case, since it has horrible airflow with no working fans. My TX3 is doing most of the airflow work.

If I could find a GTX 660Ti on eBay or Amazon, would that be a good buy? And would my power supply be good enough?

You are going to bottleneck the hell out of that card with that cpu. Better just save your dimes and nickles and buy everything at once.

I was planning on getting an Athlon II X3 450.

I was planning on getting an Athlon II X3 450 (I think that's what it was).

Even thats not much better. Just save and get a new mobo and cpu.

With no source of income (waiting for the place to open. IT'S KILLING ME!!!) I'm gonna have to rely on my mom who isn't exactly a moneybags type of person, either.

 

EDIT: It looks like my mobo supports an FX-6300 and the 8300. What would you guys say?

[Guest GRRigger]

7770 goes sometimes for like 80$

7750 goes sometimes for like 55$

 

then buy 1 or 2 cheap case fans. with cheap i mean sub 10$ each. arctic cooling or something.

[SOUTHwarrior]

Newegg has the 7790 for sale right now for like 99$ I think with a 20$ mail in rebate

From benchmarks it looks to be right with the 650ti.

Better hurry quick though i dont know how much longer it will last.

[crystal6tak]

If you're willing to buy used cards 560 ti seems to be in your price range.

Did a quick search on google shopping and these came up.

Pop a 6300 in thier and rock out. Although that vrm setup scares me.

Why does it scare you? It's not like I'm OC'ing it.

The fact its very small and has no heatsync. You will be putting more load on it with the extra cores and voltage. Dont forget about that. Just because you wont oc doesnt guarantee safety.

If it's rated for it, might as well do it. And it's a better deal than the Athlon I was looking at.

[Sharif]

i have a phenom x4 955 and i am worried that it will bottleneck or not if i get a 760 and that processor surely will

 

 

so the best thing is wait make money and make a full upgrade

[Najuno]

I was never a fan of budget hardware, I mean really cheap stuff.

 

I'd rather try to buy a used hardware around your area, where you could check the quality if the hardware. There are enough people out there that buy new hardware and not really checking how much worth their old stuff is.

 

But sure choice is yours .

Trust me, I would love to do a new build. But my grandma owns this, and now I have to use it as well. Might as well make the most of it until I can save up from my soon-to-be-job-I-hope. I'd make $15 USD an hour, and can work up to 10 hours a week (because I'm 15).
