help beachy find a new GPU.

[Beachbum]

hey guys, so a few months back my GPU gave out (it was an nVidia 5 series), and I had to switch back to my Radeon 5500HD. It's a piece of stuff and it's bottlenecking the hell out of my CPU (AMD 4 core 3.2ghz)

now, I need a new card. I'm not really looking for anything too crazy, the most graphic intense game I own on PC is probably Borderlands, so if you can imagine I don't need an 800 dollar card. I'm not really looking to play any up and coming games either (i might use my D3 key, but probably not), and I guess the new Elder Scrolls MMO.

for the time being though, just need something that'll run Borderlands, CS:S, Dungeon Defenders, L4D1/2, and the works. Here's a full list of my steam library, just need something that runs all of those. In terms of budget, I don't really want to spend more than 200 bucks i guess.



Now, one thing that I'd like for you guys to keep in mind, I keep my desktop hooked up to my 62" TV all the time, so this has to be a card that won't stuff itself while playing on it. meaning I need one that consistently keeps itself cool.

thanks guys. <3

Is your budget under $200 or $150

i mean, in theory i don't really have a budget, i just don't really game too much so I don't really want to spend more than like 200 dollars.

I'm suprised your eyes haven't burned out if you're playing on a 62" TV

i'm not sitting anywhere near it, lol. i'm sitting in my captains chair like 10 feet away. it's one of those LED thin ones with a 3d feature. p cool.

not really. i doubt anyones really so immature as to try and start a serious argument over my opinion of a game. i don't like it, but i'm not going to tell you not to. i just don't see the point of it. not a fan of sandbox games anymore really. main reason i hardly play bl even.

AMD is great. ;_;

their cards are great for when you're on a stricter budget, but the drivers bro.. loving horrendous.
opinion ofc.

and as such you are unhappy with your life and everything sucks

what the forget are you even talking about? lol. i love my life, and I think everything in it is great. idk where you're getting your information, lol.

well, you are monocle after all
did you think everyone forgot about all those thread you made or something?
you kept complaining about your parents or something? and then you bragged that you were rich, but money never made you happy
it was like this stage you went through or something, and not long after it passed was when you went on the hiatus

Your tv is only a 1080p so any graphics card will be fine, size has nothing to do with strain on the gpu.

Nvidia

AMD

The amd one is better but also a bit more

EDIT: There is a computer thread, I don't know why people refuse to post in there.
