    Recommend me a video card!

    Hi all I have CSGO but never play it since I get horrid FPS even at low settings. Sure would love you see all of your ugly faces again so help me a pick out a card so I can come freekill you in PB or show you how to suck ass at course maps on MG.

    I have this motherboard: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/...ent/c03132942/

    A little hardware info:
    Intel i5-2320 3.00 ghz
    10 gb ram (pretty sure DDR2, will be upgrading to either 16 or 32 gb of DDR3)
    win 7 ult 64 bit.

    current video card is AMD Radeon HD 7470. not a horrible card but its not adequate for the very few games I play. I play diablo 3 a lot and also have to run it a really low settings to make it barely playable. I have a 1 TB hard drive and I may look into getting a solid state drive.

    budget, id like to keep it <$400 if possible. Thanks!

    I have this one http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Computer-C.../dp/B00CZ58WUI its $400 on amazon but I'm satisfied with it, really gives a boost (ex. i can play gta v on high(maybe bit higher) settings (that even exceed my memory by about 500 mb) with around 40-50 fps (but my cpu sucks so hence why only 40-50fps).

    Just checked prices and lol'd. Newer gpu is cheaper than the older one lol. (well in US in EU its the opposite ._.)

    Sure it's great and better than gtx 770 and as i can see for quite reasonable price.

    I mean, if you're looking to run CS:GO smoothly, you don't need to spend $400 on a video card. Even $200 would be more than enough to spend on a card to get the job done, unless you're looking to future proof your card.

    that card looks quite nice and its within my budget. id certainly have to upgrade my 300w power supply though haha. and this card is a whole 3.5" longer than the current one. looked in my box and it seems like it would still fit.
