Video Card Suggestions

I upgraded from a gtx 260 to a 660 and I am SUPER pleased with this video card.

i should add, if your budget is $300, the 770 is roughly the same performance or rather, its the AMD 280x/7970 twin on performance, a 760 gets eaten alive by the AMD 280x, the 770 is more expensive and you dont get any better performance, also must add, BF4 runs better on a AMD card then nvidia in the given price point, and seems FF14 clients prefers AMD gpus

Hmmm. Well given that you said you'd like to stick with Nvidia, and that you're thinking of playing Battlefield 4, I would suggest an EVGA GTX 760 at $250.

While the GTX 770 and Radeon R9 280x are both better, each is slightly higher than your price point with the GTX 770 being $75-120 more than the GTX 760 and the R9 280x priced at $50-120 more.

Personally, I'd wait till Black Friday or Cyber Monday and then start shopping around for the higher end cards. Typically both Amazon.com and Newegg.com will have terrific deals on those days, usually with 15-35% off select cards.

Of course, you can never beat the prices at a Micro Center and I would highly suggest you check there before anywhere else if you live close by one (their online store is actually pretty bad, so if you don't live near one don't even bother buying from them because the deals are in the stores themselves, not the online outlet).

The main reason I stick with Nvidia is because I have had nothing but problems with AMD in the past. Thank you for all the input everyone
