I recommend MSIs r9 290 4g edition. It runs cool and fast, 60 fps on ultra in MWO and a stable 45+ in Last Light with super sampling/ultra settings. It's a great card

The best thing you can do since you are saying you can wait a couple months is educate your self on the differences of all the cards.I've owned various computer for longer than most of you have lived and one thing that never changes is video cards update continuously. I own a GFX 680 and it runs star citizen and this game fine, and it runs two monitors on highest settings but mine was a specific version that has allot of ram and can be overclocked. Before I got mine I decided the amount of money I was going to spend and then read up on all the cards that fell into that group, some manufacturers make better cards than others, some have better customer service,some longer warranties than others, warranties can differ on cards from same manufacturer. Educate yourself on all that decide which one. Then remember in less than a few months better faster cards with more whistles and bells will be out. It is the way it goes. The months to come there will be a couple times when allot of things will be discounted, Day after thanksgiving aka black Friday, and week after Christmas..And like the one person said if you want a 700 series and the 800 or 900 series come out the prices will drop how much is hard to say..Other small thing about computers ...sometimes, is the more money you wisely spend the more time you have between upgrades, at least in pc gaming.Next year I will be wanting to upgrade monitors to the UHD or whatever its called one, I will have to upgrade my vid card for that. Best thing is to educate yourself then you can decide what is best for you.

100% agree with you.

That's the reason I created this topic and still am looking for info about the GPU's.

Thanks for your insight, mate.
