Graphics card help

Hardware GPU
#1

I am building a gaming/editing PC on a tight budget ($1,300 without peripherals). I need to know if this graphics card is ok or if i should think about getting a better one.

 

2GB AMD Radeon R7 260X Overclocked (896 Streams), D-Sub/DVI-D/HDMI

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

For $1,300 you should get a much nicer graphics card, what's the rest of you specs?

#3

take a look at the R9 280x probably the best performance for the money and only about $300

You don't need a soundcard

#6

It's onboard, it is preinstalled on the motherboard, so technically its free with the motherboard.

I maybe mistaken though, if you are buying a separate sound card then you don't really need it. Unless you are an audiophile.

#7

No it is pre built on the motherboard your right

#8

that really $1300 worth of parts?
