    GPU/upgrade recommendations

    Thank you for the in-depth post, it helped to clear up several questions I had. I have never ordered from Vuugo, just looked into them and I think I want to stick with sites I'm more comfortable with. Which means the list would look more like this: Asus ROG Strix RX 470 8GB $250 after...

    GPU/upgrade recommendations

    I have an LG W2353V-PF as my main display. Is there a video card brand you would recommend over EVGA? There are not many 6GB 1060s in my price range, would you recommend the 3GB model instead? Or buy a 480? There are MSI and XFX 8GB models that are in my price range.

    Upgrade or not?

    It's my main machine at home so I use it for everything, but I do a lot of gaming.

    Upgrade or not?

    My current computer is five years old and the fan is starting to go on my current video card (HIS HD 5870). I was going to just replace the fan, but then I thought maybe it would be worth upgrading the video card instead. My system is a Core i7 920 on an ASUS P6TD Deluxe x58 board with 6GB of...
