Wanna know how to get the most bang for your buck? Well, since Black Friday is tomorrow, I decided you might as well let everyone know what you want for Christmas while at the dinner table. These are the best value graphics cards you can get.
Gigabyte Radeon 7770 - http://amzn.to/1evaTQq
This is a great GPU at $100, especially when coupled with a quad core CPU. It should be able to play most games at 1080p on medium settings if you want really good framerates, but you could push the details to high without AA if you were to go 720p. It's a nice card, and you should think about picking it up for a budget rig.
Asus Radeon 7850 - http://amzn.to/1caZtBA
This 7850 is $125, but it doesn't have a great cooler on it. However, this card will get you great framerates at 1080p in many games, and will run Battlefield 3/4 at really nice settings where it'll look as good as next-gen consoles. The prices will go down as the 7000 series cards get discontinued, so pick one up soon if you really want an upgrade.
Asus GTX 660 - http://amzn.to/1hlHoVh
The GTX 660 is a really good card when compared to some other cards, in my opinion. This Asus card is $70 less than their 660Ti, but it's only about 10% slower. The card is more than 10% cheaper, so the 660 is much better value than the 660Ti right now for your money.
These three cards will get you the most bang for your buck, in my humble opinion. The reason is because they're last generation cards, but the next generation cards are only about 50% faster for twice the price. You shouldn't pay twice the price for a card that's not twice as fast. So buy smart, and buy reasonable. Also, all these cards work with 450W PSUs, so you won't have to spend a bunch of money in that area, either.
Happy gaming.
