best graphics card for $130

[th3coolbro]

what is the best graphics card i can get for around $130 that will play bf3 on high settings at 1080p.

 

[jonnyp11]

The hd 7770 but whats your psu?

 

[th3coolbro]

430 watt thermaltake

 

[Darren]

Yeah that'll be fine. 7770 is best choice too.

 

[th3coolbro]

what is the best cpu for around $100 i see alot of these fx series on newegg so i dont know which ones are the best

 

[SpringWater]

Well, if you do a little "hunting" on e-bay you might be able to get a gtx 470 which I believe is more powerful than the hd 7770 but I'm not sure how it would behave with your psu...

 

[Darren]

Yeah that's a horrible idea on that small of a PSU.

That's what I was guessing, but it's still a great card for the price

Well for a 100 bucks the FX 4100/4130 is as close as your going to get. I would spend alittle more and get a FX 6300 for 139 bucks. But then, right now you can get a FX 8120 for 159 bucks with a 15 buck promo off, 145 bucks isnt a bad deal.

 

[th3coolbro]

the phenom ii x4 3.4 black edition isnt better ?

 

[wolfeking]

no, not at all. The FX*3** series outperforms Phenom II, and does it with more cores and higher OC speed ability.

 

[turbobooster]

for about a 150 euro,s you get a fx 8320.
i think its oke.

 

[jonnyp11]

I think i'd go for the phenom II over the 4100, but the 6300 would be a bit better.

 

[StrangleHold]

I think i'd go for the phenom II over the 4100, but the 6300 would be a bit better.

Well I would take the FX 4300 over a Phenom II. But its overpriced, you can get the FX 6300 for 10 bucks more. My guess is after the FX 4100 series sells out the price of the FX 4300 will come down.

Yeah, he said a cpu for 100 which a phenom would be best, but i'd spend the extra bit for the 6300 too

 

[th3coolbro]

i don't have the extra lol
u guys think the phenom x4 + the radeon 7770hz factory o.c to 1100 will play any title out today at medium settings 60+fps?? (not counting gta iv)

 

[jonnyp11]

What's the rest of the computer? And are you upgrading an older one and these. Are the only things you are getting?

 

[th3coolbro]

i will have after i upgrade the cpu and gpu...
cpu:amd phenom x4
gpu: radeon 7770
ram: 4gb crucial ram
hard drive: 230gb seagate
motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M LX
psu: i think its a thermaltake 430 watt

right now i have a amd athlon ii x2 3.0ghz and a radeon 6670 and i play on 1080p and i cant even play black ops on low settings without lag and same with games like bfbc2 and for bf3 its unplayable unless i lower the resolution.

 

[jonnyp11]

I'd probably grab a 7850 2 gb then in a few months the next gen of processors should be out so then a new cpu and mobo

 

[th3coolbro]

^ yah me too
but i dont have the money for that lol, i wish i did
