with a budget of 300$, what's the best card to buy these days?
What processor?
What Mother Board?
If that is a budget for the whole PC, I don't think it will go very far, especially if he wants to play Arma 3.
For Arma 3, I would say the minimum is:
Intel i5-2500k or i5-3470k -> around $200
8 gigs of RAM -> around $80
Mainboard -> around $40
So at this point we're at 320 with no harddisk, case, power supply etc. You can add another $150 for that I suppose.
Then the graphics card. For budget I'd go for AMD, a Radeon HD 7850 is pretty decent and costs around 150.
In total, it would add up to about 700 for a decent gamer PC.
If we're talking 300 for the graphics card, then I'd go for Geforce GTX 770 which is around 300, or a Radeon 290X, the latter being a fantastic card but seriously over 300.
I don't need luck, I have ammo.
