New GPU recommendation?

[Burnt.Pancake]

Hi guys, I need recommendations for a new gpu. Games I usually play are like Tomb Raider and Bioshock, AC on high setting. Budget about high end $300 ~ low-end $400.

Details of my rig is on the right side but quite a noob here, so I'm not sure what info you guys need for a recommendation other than the price and purpose. Thanks for the help

get 4gb more ram as well.

Then, 280x is more than enough. And also, get 4gb more ram as what Hailgod recommended.

Thanks guys. Any recommendations of which brand of 280x I should get? Also, can I get a second recommendation for the high-end 300 price range too?

In the $300 range, can try zotac 760 AMP!. As for 280x, can try getting powercolour, msi or giga.

One more thing though, i am not sure what case you are using. So go check its gpu length clearance and the gpu length itself before buying ur gpu.

Oh, and it's this casing.

3R System R120-V2 SE Casing - HardwareZone.com

200(W) x 418(H) x 445(D)

Does the recommendations still stands?

Check the gpu clearance in the case, not the dimensions of the case................

The best is to buy a 2nd hand high end gpu with warranty. Cost effective & powerful. But somehow people always prefer to buy new.
