I'm building a PC very soon and I am unsure on which graphics card to get. I want to play most games on high settings and will be playing games such as DayZ, CoD AW, GTA V etc so it needs to run smoothly with no problems at all.

My current build at the minute is:

120GB Kingston SSD
1TB Western Digital HDD
AMD FX 9590 CPU
ASRock 990FX Extreme9 MOBO
8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
Corsair CX750 PSU
Zelman Z3 Plus Case

Which card do you recommend I get?

Thanks

Don't get an FX, its on a dead socket.

Pretty ugly case IMO.

Bad Powersupply.

What are you wanting to spend on this build because you could get so much better with Intel's side.

Thanks for the reply.

What do you mean it's on a dead socket?

Also why is the powersupply bad?

Finally, I really like the case. My brother has it and it looks awesome.

Dead, as in the fact that you'll have nowhere to upgrade to meaning you'll have to change motherboard and CPU when changing which is what you'll inevitably do anyway.

How much are you planning on spending on your computer? We will more than likely be able to help you build a better one so that you don't throw your money away.

We can't suggest a GPU without your budget and currency but don't get those components. The 9590 is a ridiculous CPU to purchase since you need to pair it with a very expensive board and it's incredibly hot. That case has poor build quality and the PSU is terrible quality. What is your full budget and currency for the rig? What will the rig be used for exactly? Gaming only or gaming and editing/rendering etc..?

Ok everyone thanks for your time in commenting.

I live in the UK so my currency will be GBP. Also, the budget for my build will be around 700/800 GBP (but don't mind going over a little).

For my build, I already have a few things (such as the 120GB Kingston SSD, Western Digital 1TB HDD, 8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM, and a standard Optical Drive).

I need a case, processor, motherboard, power supply and graphics card.

It will be used for gaming a lot and I will be playing games such as Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, DayZ, GTA V etc.


If you guys could help me chose these I would really appreciate it!

Thank you

Is it going to be used for gaming only? Or will you use it for other stuff like editing/rendering? Also, will you be overclocking?

Yes it will be used for gaming only, I will not be rendering/editing videos on it.

Also, I will not be overclocking on it.

SLI support should you ever need it.

Wow, 799

Anyways, would it be better going with an AMD CPU to reduce the price and spend more on the graphics card?
