Hi, I'm an enthusiast programmer and gamer. I've tried to follow the template provided in the sticky but the quote option isn't working so I've had to drop BBCode formatting (I doubt this matters too much, just it's a little bit less readable)
System Specifications:
I. Processor/CPU: AMD FX 4100 @ 3,6 x 4
II. Current Graphics Card: Radeon 6670. Need to play most new games on minimum graphics for playable framerate.
III. Display Resolution: 1920 1080
IV. Power Supply Unit Specification (Brand, Wattage, Ampage, Age). If possible, please provide a link to a website containing the power supply specifications: Upgraded from generic last week. My current one is: an OCZ ZS 750 W. I have, if I remember, two 6+8 pin and two 6 pin, so I should be able to chuck pretty much any graphics card into it.
V. Case Specifications(N/A, Model, Length, Low Profile, Cooling, HTPC, Water, Silent): front fan, PSU fan blowing onto the motherboard (Probably not a good idea but it was that or it touching the top of the case), a CPU fan and I think it just about fits an ATX and some drive racks width-width, depth wise it is fine, height, it fits an ATX, a pretty big PSU and about 10-20 centimetersof space.
My motherboard's PCI-e 16x has a lot of empty space around it so a wide graphics card shouldn't be a problem.
Purchase Details:
I. Budget? Please be sure to include currency (If not USD), retailer preferences & specify whether rebates are a viable option.
About £250 maximum. Preferably £240 to take into account shipping. I am more than happy to buy it off auction sites like eBay providing it works and is new or nearly new.
II. Any particular preferences (Manufacturer[nV or AMD], Brand[XFX, Sapphire, EVGA, etc], Cooling Solutions)?
Not too bothered, as long as it isn't too hard to install.
III. Do you plan to have any Multi-GPU solutions such as Crossfire or SLI?
Not in the immediate future. I'm looking for a decently high end card so this shouldn't be much of a worry to accommodate in anyway.
IV. Have you previously looked at a product(s) which you feel would fit your needs?
Yeah, see title.
V. What are your needs for this GPU? Which games(If any)do you intend to play? If you have this information at hand, what are the desired detail levels?
Black Ops II, Planetside II, League of Legends (Shouldn't be much of a strain), Command and Conquer, TF2, CS:GO, Dota 2, etc.
Black Ops and Planetside strain my current card, even on low . I just want to be able to get about 40-60 FPS on highest graphics, but my main concern is paying all this money and still not getting a future proof card that can play today's games well.
VI. Do you plan on overclocking the card you intend to purchase?
Don't see why not if necessary.
