Help a newbie out with picking a budget graphics card - Under $250
3 replies, posted
My graphics card is roaring like a monster. I consider this to be a bad thing since graphics cards normally don't feature vocal chords, not to mention the vocal chords required to imitate the summoning of death.
This is especially frightening because all of my video cards have been hand-me-downs, and while I have been looking at video cards that I was planning on getting, it sounds like it's finally time to make a decision for myself.
I have been looking at the [b]MSI R9-270X[/b], and from what I understand it's PCI x16 which will fit my computer, it's got 2 DVI inputs which is just enough, and it's well-rounded enough to play the games I have been looking to get into.

I mainly play Source Engine games because I'm a weirdo, but I have had interest in playing games like Crysis, and from reviews I've read online it seems like this would be good for playing some more of the recent mainstream games.
This video card is being sold out everywhere because it's apparently a prime choice for bitcoin miners, but I've still found this link that has the video card at a slightly marked up price.
Does anyone else have any recommendations for a good graphics card?
Get a GTX 760 it's faster than the 270X. [URL]http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-n760tf2gd5oc[/URL] And the 270X is only supposed to be $199 but it raised some for miners, even though it's not that great for mining(not really powerful enough, but can do it).
