GPU Buying Guide - (Read first post) in Desktops ·
Hey everyone, I’m looking to pick up a new graphics card because my current one just... well, the chip fried. It's gone. Total meltdown. Here is what I'm running at the moment:
  • ASUS P8Z77 motherboard, IP68, DDR3, audio, S-ATA, RAID, G-LAN, PCI-E, SLI, USB 3.0, ATX, socket 1155
  • Intel Core i3 12100 processor, socket 1155, 3.10GHz, 3MB cache, GPU, DualCore
  • PC-12800 memory, 4 GB, G-SKILL DDR3 Series, F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ, DDR3 1600 MHz, KIT 2x2 GB
  • PCI-e NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, 1GB DDR5, DualDVI, HDMI, 2x DP
  • 500W power supply, MUSHKIN Enhanced Volta, MKNPSVT500-EU, ATX 2.3, 120mm fan

I don't have any other specifics on hand since the rig is currently sitting at the repair shop... waiting on them. I'm really just looking for something comparable to what I had, or even just something that can handle basic gaming—you know, things like PES, Call of Duty, Football Manager... plus just watching movies. I'm open to checking out different online retailers, and my budget is capped at $200. Any recommendations on which card I should go for? Appreciate the help 😉
