What's up guys I just recently started working and now wanted to invest some of my money into my computer. The only thing I think I really need to do is replace my graphics card, as I have a decent processor and 8GB Ram. I was just wondering what is a good graphics card for about 200 dollars? I currently have a 1GB video card and I was thinking of getting a 2GB one.

I currently have the AMD Radeon HD 7800 series graphics card.

Well for $200 if you can overpay like $20 the GTX 960 2GB is a very decent card for its price. Or the R9 280 is only $190 They are both decent cards but imo I like the GTX 960 a lot.

Just looked into the 960, it looks pretty good so thank you for your recommendation.

I would get this [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
That is of course if your PSU can handle it, what PSU do you have as that may need upgrading too.

380 hands down. 380>280x>285>280>960. If you can sell your current GPU before you buy a new one, you might be able to get a 290 or something. You'll need to make sure you have a decent PSU first, and that your case is compatible.
