What GPU should I buy?

[superdupermonekythatneedhe]

Hello, I'm planning on buying new GPU in range of up to 300 bucks what should I buy and where?

This is my setup:

CPU:Intel core I5 2400 3.10GHz

GPU:Nvidia gt 240 1gb RAM gddr5

Monitor: Flatron w2286l (1680x1050)

RAM: 8 GB gddr3

 

Which GPU will give the best performence? 

[FloRolf]

R9 280x - wherever its cheap.

[sanderdegrote]

R9 280X or GTX 770.

[MoYo]

depends on where you live amd 280x or gtx 770 are in that price range and are both great cards, the 280x would be my choice because of the extra vram.

[ACatWithThumbs]

R9-280X is the best card for $300.

760 or 770GTX

good luck finding a 280x

[FlakeyBanana]

save up and if a 280x comes into stock take it

280x is what I would recommend but have fun finding one right now. For your current resolution a GTX 770 would serve you well.

I would recommend the R9 280X. The only thing is good luck finding one in stock. The GTX 770 is good too but I prefer the extra vram on the 280X instead.

270x if you are on lower money

[ManOfDisguise]

gtx 770.

[Najuno]

Depends on what you are planning to game... my true recommendation would be a R9 280X.

But if you are really bound to that budget then go for a R9 270X or a GTX770.

 

All these cards will be a strong increase of graphics power anyway.

+1 on R9 280X.  MSI,Asus, and Sapphire are good brands of non reference coolers to choose from.
