Recommended Frostbound this one, he loves it and can max out Source without dipping below 40 FPS.

For about $100, you could get this 7770 GHZ
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

For around $130, you could get any GTX 650 Ti.

For around $150+, you could get an HD 7850

Since i litterally know nothing of computer parts, working wise out of all of the ones posted which one is the best? (Not the $130 or $150^ ones) i can get the 7770 or the one deacon and Fuzion posted

Also these pieces fit in any computer right? lol like i can just pull out my Nvidia and plug this one in, right?

Yes but then you have to update drivers for the new card you get which should not be to hard and do you know how to put in the new graphics card and remove the old one ?

Unless you really want PhysX, I'd go with a 7770. It can go as low as $110, and has an edge on the 650 in pretty much everything. (http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/536?vs=681)

I'd get the Sapphire one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202011), as it's cheaper and (IMO) Sapphire is a better brand.

Er, you can get it like 30$ cheaper at newegg.
Newegg and tigerdirect are the places to buy PC parts. :p

Also if you wanna spend a tad more you can get a 7850.

You get 3 free games too.

(Though no idea how good that brand is.)

I recommend the GTX 650ti BOOST. Its $170.

The GTX 660 is on sale atm, and with a rebate can be got for around $170 too. Look at amazon

GTX 550 TI is pretty good. Not sure if somebody said this already.

If you have more to spend, you can look into my beauty, MSI GTX 660TI OC Power Edition
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127696 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127696)
It's $309 so it's $200 off your budget, it's a really, really, good card.

Post by: Viole on April 17, 2013, 08:49:52 PM
A 650 wouldn't be good for that price, and the 2GB of VRam it offers wouldn't be beneficial because it boosts the costs over by quite a bit, and the 650 itself isn't that good.

"No" to MSI, not to the card. I was sure to only quote the word "MSI".
