In the previous thread I ended up this build that cusideabelincoln put together (thanks again man!).
Now we have a leftover budget of about $160. Is there a decent video card for about $160? Would there be a good choice in that price range?
Here are the specs we're going with so far.
CPU:AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($118.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard:ASRock 970 Extreme3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($74.99 @ Newegg)
Memory:G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($64.99 @ Newegg)
Storage:Samsung 840 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($99.99 @ Adorama)
Storage:Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($74.99 @ Newegg)
Case:Rosewill CHALLENGER ATX Mid Tower Case ($39.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply:Corsair CX 500W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply ($59.99 @ Newegg)

Best videocard for about $160?

$1,000 PC build.
06 May 2013 - 12:25 AM
I have a friend looking to build a PC.
He gave me a budget of $1,000. He won't be doing any overclocking or anything special like that, just games.
Could I get some help picking out parts please? Don't need to pick out a mouse and keyboard or monitor, but those are part of the budget still.
Any help would be appreciated!
EDIT: And if we could fit in an SSD in the budget that'd be a bonus too.

Windows 8 + Walking Dead game + 360 controller = bad time?
16 March 2013 - 03:47 AM
I'm trying to play the Walking Dead game on Steam but I can't get it to work with a controller.
A quick google search shows this is a common problem and I'm wondering if anyone here has had this problem and what they did to fix it?
The quick popular fix seems to be dropping a file into the Walking Dead's steam folder but that didn't do anything for me.

Have an AMD card? Can you do me a huge favor?

My windows account got stolen and I lost my Dirt 3 game. I tried everything to get the account back, like calling Microsoft, talking to codemasters, etc. No luck. 
I then remembered that they're still doing this promotion where if you get an AMD video card you can get a key for Dirt 3 for free.
Can someone do me a favor and get me a code please? I'll buy you a $5 to $10 game on Steam too if you want. I just want to play Dirt 3 again.
Would appreciate it a lot!

I know I'm reaching here... but does anyone have a Dirt 3 code?

I lost the gamertag that I had Dirt 3 attached to, and I've done everything I can to try and get the account back. I called Microsoft and such even and they couldn't help me out either.
I'm just wondering if anyone has a Dirt 3 code I could trade for/buy? I know they did some type of promotion with the game a long while ago and I'm hoping there is still a key out there.
Day One Patch. Help me out please! =D
