Here's a Budget PC Build I'm putting together, Need some advise on a GPU
Here's some stuff I had laying around ($0 Cost)
-Intel Core i5 2500K ($0.00)
-Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H ($0.00)
-1TB Western Digital Blue drive ($0.00)
-Windows 7 64Bit Pro ($0.00)
-Carbide Series Air 240 Arctic White High Airflow MicroATX $94.37
-Corsair CX Series 600 Watt Power Supply CX600M 68.97
-Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) 85.99
My next buy is GPU I'm willing to spend a Penny on this being i've only spent $249.33 on everything so far. I'm goals are to run DSS (Deep Sky stacker) A very memory heavy program for my past experiences when using .Raw's, Some light games such as dirt 3, Minecraft, GTA5 and maybe get my feet wet with more serious games in time, then my normal low powered Arduino, SDR Sharp.. apps in that nature along with driving two 1920X1080 21.5 LCD's.
I was almost thinking of picking up a GTX960 or a r9 290 but figured i'd get some advice before making the next step
