I want to be able to play games on my PC with a very good amount of FPS for around $200, and I'm willing to pay around $50 over or under that.
I'm thinking of getting an [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] or a [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
If anyone has any other competing suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks

Looked up some benchmarks and seems as if saving for this card would definitely be worth it, thanks.
I'd love to see some other suggestions too, however

The GTX 760 is a greater card than the R9 270X. For $300, you can get a GTX 770 which is a far superior card. However, you could get a GTX 760 for $240 which is closer to your budget and would be your best choice. You said your budget was around $200 so you could easily get an R9 270X for $200. All 3 are great cards and if the GTX 760 is too far out of your budget, get the R9 270X, you won't be disappointed. If you don't mind saving for a while, the GTX 770 will be a better card, will handle multiple monitors with ease and is more future-proof.

I Really don't see were that would be an overkill , if you want a killer system that can run games on greatest settings this is for you. also if you would be in the market for a systems with 3+ monitors you'll need something that can hold its own weight

its overkill if you don't have 3 plus monitors. which most people do not. my gtx 660 runs games on greatest settings lol so u don't have to pay an extra $150 for a killer system

Both cards are great choices. I have the 760 right now and I haven't come across a game (with proper optimization) that I can't run at 60+FPS on ultra.

It's not over-kill at all. The GTX 770 is only £50 more expensive than the GTX 760 is and the 770 will out-perform the 760 all day long. It will perform better in anything and is useful in case you ever upgrade to dual or triple monitors. The GTX 760 would still be able to handle multiple monitor's though.

It's not over-kill at all. The GTX 770 is only 50 more expensive than the GTX 760 is and the 770 will out-perform the 760 all day long. It will perform better in anything and is useful in case you ever upgrade to dual or triple monitors. The GTX 760 would still be able to handle multiple monitor's though.

Just get the R9 270x, it's a great GPU and is not overkill at all. It runs all games on ultra, it's perfect.
