PC guys i need your help.
I need help on purchasing a video card for my pc build. I built this PC around last January. Now please don't laugh at my build this was my first time every doing this and i had no idea what i was doing.At first i wanted a pc just to watch movies and have xbmc on it. Now i want to game on it. So i will link my build from pc part picker.
Now about the video card i want. I will only be using my 1080p tv to play on. But i would like to have it at max settings.

So please lead me in the right direction. Also my price range is no more that $350.00. but i would like to stay cheaper.


My build

The answer is a GTX 970 for $329. In fact, the TDP being 100 watts lower than something like a 770 may actually make it possible to run on that PSU. Maybe. NVidia officially recommends a 500W, but given the rest of your components aren't particularly 12v power-hungry, 430 might work. No overclocking on CPU or GPU, though.

The problem is they are somewhat elusive. Seem to be in better stock than the 980 though. Get one: LINK
