Yeah this will work. Also, I'm not sure if this works but I'm guessing by theory since the shaders are made by pixels, a card with more pixle rate will be better.

You can look at a website, hwcompare.com this website let's you compare graphics cards and which are better by their specs. It also tells you the pixle rate and stuff. You should look at some other radeon and Nvidia cards, this one will do the job though.

Alright. The computer I have picked out. (Parts I mean) Was picked by a friend, He knows alot about building computers and he asked me for a budget and I said $900-$1,200. It all turned out to be $914 (Useing Newegg). Anyway. I'll ask him about maybe looking at one thats a bit better.

I have that GPU, make sure you get the right CPU with it otherwise it'll bottleneck.

That's what I've done.

[Awdax]

Yeah, if you're going with that GPU I recommend this for the CPU. Pretty sure it won't bottleneck.

Intel Core i3-2100 Dual-Core Processor 3.1 GHz 3 MB Cache LGA 1155 - BX80623I32100

Or one of those really nice AMD Bulldozer 8-core CPU.

That is the one my eye is set on.

Im going to use a i5Processor. Hold on i'll get the file with all the parts.

I'm putting that one in my rig. All the ratings seem happy.

I might go with a better one. Idk yet.

With the OverDrive feature that graphic card comes with, you wont have much trouble.

y u no get gtx790?

Also, somehow APUs are really cheap, and they boost graphics performance with crossfire along with just being a CPU. In october/november, the new AMD Trinity APU desktop version comes out, featuring the Piledriver architecture that out-performs Intel chips in gaming, along with boosting your graphics.

Suddenly, urges to upgrade my computer!
