Hello,
I am going to buy my first custom PC parts next week.
My decided specs:
CPU------------------FX 6300
MOBO----------------Asus m5a97 EVO r2.0
RAM------------------G.Skill RipJawsX 8gb
CASE-----------------HAF 912 with window
HDD------------------WD 1tb Blue
PSU------------------Seasonic S12ii 620W
MONITOR-------------Dell S2240L [21.5'' 1080p] - [I already have viewsonic 1440*900p monitor]
The above totals to about ~ 670$ in my country [india]
Now i am confused for which graphic card to go.
I want a card which is compatible with DX11.2 Tiled Resource feature [As i'll have the windows 8.1] and also support DUAL-MONITOR [Gaming will only be done on 1080p screen]
I want the card to serve me for atleast 2.5 years with a gradual decrease in game settings from ULTRA [2013] to HIGH [2014] to MID-HIGH [2015] to MID-LOW[2016]
Asus GTX 760 - 325$ [If i buy this one i wont have money to upgrade gpu for 2.5 years]
Sapphire 7870 GhZ - 250$ [If i buy this card i might upgrade the gpu after 1.7-2 years]
7870 XT - not available
Sorry for typing so much. But any help suggestion comments views opinions will be HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
Thanks you in advance
TL;DR: Is the 760 worth the extra 75$ over the 7870?
Also the 75$ saved today will help me in upgrading the GPU faster!
