Guys I'm looking for a new GPU on a budget, my ancient HD 6670 is not cutting it anymore.
Is a R7 260X good for running Blockland with High shaders? or is it still too weak?

I do not care if the card is AMD or NVIDIA, it just needs to be under 150 USD.

amd is decent for the prices, but they havnt had a driver update in a very very long time...
clock speeds alone dont make up for being outdated

I attempted to make a $1200~ budget PC build. Not for me, mainly for anyone. Would like comments, and part ideas that are less expensive and work just as good would be great.

Thermal paste isn't necessary, unless the hyper evo doesnt have it. It almost certainly does though.

Is this a good monitor? thought I'd double check.

May not be the world's greatest certification known to mankind, but I'm proud of myself for achieving this plus the free loot I can get from their site which includes processors for dirt cheap, as an example a 4790k is only 99 dollars through this program and a 5930k only 179.

The Strix 980Ti is one lovey motherforgeter.
