According to this, AMD is currently having a bundle that gets you certain games with certain cards.

(I plan on only getting a card along with Far Cry 3)
Though I would like one that can help meet the "recommended requirements" here.

So which out of these would be the best deal?

Also, are Geforce compatible with AMD cards?
This is all of the current things I'm running according to Speccy.

(Sorry if this is in the wrong section or if I got something wrong.)
What is your budget?
Also I hope your mobo temp sensor is broken because 86c is way too much.
And what do you mean with "Are geforce compatible with AMD cards" ? If you mean using both at the same time, it is possible IIRC but they do not go well together performance wise.
[QUOTE=Starship;38844207]What is your budget?[/QUOTE]
I don't have a current budget right now, I'm kind of just looking for one that would be the best value out of these, since they come with Far Cry 3.

I hope too.

I meant would switching over from a GeForce to an AMD card affect my system in any way
First off, get a 64 bit OS, and more RAM. Then look into this card [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125418"]Newegg[/URL]. I jsut bought one, and it's amazing. Very cool, and I am running far cry 3 on ultra, with good fps. (I have 16GB ram and i5 at 4.2ghz.) (PS, 16 GB of ram isn't necessary, nor will it help a whole lot, but you will want 8 to have a good time, hence the 64 bit OS to run it.)

I think I'm fine with the selection I'm looking at, but thanks.
No problem, have fun :)
