Graphic Cards Recommend a Graphic card (Budget 7K)

[saqib_khan]

Hi

My config:
Core i3 3220
Gigabyte GA B75M D3H
4GB RAM
1 TB HD
VIP Gold 500 W
Monitor: 1920 x 1080

I am thinking to get a graphic card under 7K budget. I need something to do entry level gaming, but i will also be working on this PC so i need something that won't consume much power, but i can still game.

I am thinking of R7 250 or GTX 650. But i still need recommendations and which company to buy. Please note that if it is power efficient, then the better it is.

I checked in the market today and GTX 650 is not available anywhere. I am finalling on Sapphire R7 250 1 GB DDR5. Should i go with it?

1st change your PSU as VIP is very bad PSU.Go with Corsair CX500 -3500.
Go with Zotac GTX750Ti 2GB -10500, (This is more power efficient as it is based on Maxwell)
or
Zotac GTX660 2GB -12500. (This requires 1x6pin PCI-E power connector)

Hasn't he listed his budget as 7k?

for that budget a radeon 250 or 250x is good and they both outperform the gtx 650. (they are a rebranded 7750 and 7770)

if your going to push your budget past 7k then an r7 260x is the next best choice (9-10k approx)

i cant think of any decent nvidia offering for under 10k.

most cards under 10k are low power anyway so with your config a quality smps above 400W will be fine, however, please do look up some info on your VIP smps. i have not heard of that brand. seasonic, corsair, xfx and antec are some recommended brands.

Thank you. ok I will go for a Radeon 250. I will also remember your advise on PSU.
