What's the best GPU to get for playing games on 2560x1440? Good to buy used or should I stick to new?

A 980 Ti probably.

What's the best GPU to get for playing games on 1280x1024?
CPU - Pentium D 925
PCIe 2.0 x16 @ x4
RAM - 2GB DDR2 200 MHz

Money is not an issue

Don't buy used, ever.

Get an R9 390 or if you can afford it a 980ti.

A 980/Fury/390x will be fine, 980ti/FuryX if you want to be autistic. Though I'd wait for Pascal/Greenland, unless you really need a new GPU now.

Motherboard supports maximum 2 GB

1 retard using that card in a PC with a garbage power supply can rip years off its life span without leaving any discernible signs. Until 1 year after you bought it, it croaks.

Buying used PC parts is as retarded as buying a used mattress.
>>
>>321713095

Are you sure? I've bought a ton of used parts in my day (never a power supply)

My graphics card and processor are both used and are fine. Every part I've ever owned is still functioning, I use past computers as a render cluster.

hey guys I'm going to update my pc and this is what its going to turn into, is this any good

Get 2x8GB instead of 4x4GB, upgrade the SSD to a better brand and downgrade the HDD to a WD Blue instead of Black.
>Buying windows

I swear to god you better be baiting. If you aren't then take 5 minutes and learn how to pirate windows, buy a GTX 980 or R9 390 instead, at the very least get a 290X. If you care about emulating then drop the AMD CPU and get an i5 instead.

Not to mention if you ARE sticking with the AMD CPU, you'll want an aftermarket cooler because you will 100% wanting to be overclocking that CPU.

With a mobo, the i5 is probably still a similar price as the FX; and if nothing else, a used i5 or i7 performs way better as well.
>>
>>321715921
Then I5 + mobo is your best bet honestly, but again, it's all about preference. You will definitely want a cooler if you plan on OCing anything however. Stock i5 4690k runs like a dream, you'd need to OC any AMD CPU to get decent emulation and in select games so a cooler there is required.

>>321715219
RAM could be faster. In the future, if you've got the money, you're better off getting three 1TB HDD's instead of a single large one. Onboard physical media kinda confuses me, but it's not pointless.

>HDMI sound
I want to vomit. 0/10 would not play jams with.

Thanks for the advice, I've only built amd pc's before so I've never actually run an intel cpu. Thank you so much
