need graphics card suitable to my exiting hardware

U

my system configuration

processor:----- i5-2400
motherboard:-- msi h67 ma e35(b3)
ram:-----------2X2gb 1333Mhz Corsair
psu:-----------cooler master 550w extream power plus

i have 22inch 1080p display...

so what's your budget ? the PSU is not the best one if you ask me but anyway, you can go for cards like GTX 650 ti Boost or HD 7870.

U

will the cards recomended by you isn't more powerful for my existing hardware. i mean, if one has i3-2100 or something like that and he used gtx760 then the card will not be able to deliver the full performance but if he used i7 processors the he can get he max performance.......

please help....

you can use the 7870/650ti boost happily with your config. there will be no bottlenecking.

just upgrade your PSU too.

U

For availability reason I am also considering hd7770.
So what about hd7770? And what will be its equivalent nvidia card.

what do you mean availability reasons??

7870 is plenty available in the market.

U

i mean in my city (jamshedpur).

please help...

which nvidia card is equivalent to hd7770 and which brand to prefer when going for amd cards.

Well, equivalent of HD 7770 is GTX 650 which performs slightly lower than the AMD counter part. However, HD 7770 or GTX 650 are not the best card for gaming @ 1080P resolution. Can you order Online?

First change that unpredictable firework level PSU.

U

yes i can order online...

sell your current psu. get 650 ti boost+antec vp450p/seasonic s12 ii 520.

U

which brand to prefer....

u should mention what games u will be playing what are ur performance / gfx card level expectations.

650 < 7770 < 650ti < 650ti boost all good for most of the available games @ highest settings, but within a year, expect games that will require at least a 660 to perform well @ high grafix settings.

also, new gfx card lineups have been introduced by both nvidia and amd, but i am not ware of their details, perhaps others will be able to give details. :chinscratch:

If you want assured high gaming at atleast high and mid at 1080p get HD 7870 XT.

OP post a rough budget...
GTX 760 around 21k is best bet for even 1440p.
