What video card should I start my build with?

best gaming pc build for 600 image

Veritatum1

I'm looking to build a semi-budget ($600 or less) gaming PC in the next six months or so that will play Guns of Icarus online, Sanctum 2, Shogun 2, Medieval 2, M&B Bannerlords, stuff like that.

I have no idea what video card to start with - it has to be air-cooled with fans (not comfortable with liquid cooling), support Dx 10, carry 1 GB VRAM and shader support, and ideally cost $150 or less. The type of chips available and the number of generations on-market now is a little daunting. Any advice?

I'm also planning on building with a Quad 2.5 GHz, 8 GB RAM and supporting Win 7 64-bit.

Answer
I would go with a amd hd 7770 a good midrange graphic card for gaming , another one is a gtx 650 ti a step up from the gtx 550 ti there are no liqiud cooled graphic cards most of them has fans with cooling pipes installed to keep them cool

is it cheaper to build a gaming pc or just to buy one?

I can't afford a top of the line gaming pc, however, i keep reading comments that it is cheaper to build a gaming pc than it is to buy it already made. would it be possible to build a gaming pc that can handle great graphics at around the 500-600 dollar area. I want to use my pc to play system emulators as well as be able to play current games at good speeds. Please any help will be appreciated.

Answer
I just so happen to have a nephew (age 14) that has been trying to answer the same question. If i were to try to build a gaming system with the amount of money you have, one sure way is to visit the compute flea markets. You can usually snap up some pretty good bargains. I would never try to buy any gaming computer new. Unless you're willing to spend triple what you have budgeted, you'll most likely be quite disappointed.
