Being cheap

im just saying b/c AMD is so far behind Intel man.....They should have never bought ATI.

What's the point of building an AMD-based PC without a high end AMD Cpu?

you referring to my post?

I need a video card but I dont play games at all

only graphic intense thing I do is Photoshop and HD videos

I havent done any research yet but I'm guessing going for an older top of the line model rather than a recent mid level one is a best bet

I would get something like a gtx 750ti, or lesser, if that's all you're doing

older 'top of the line' is gonna be a power hungry beast, and they're honestly hard to find new for a decent price

Yeah, you only buy AMD cpus when you're on a severe budget. I've never bought an AMD cpu and never will.

I've bought AMD cards though (well technically ATI, but same thing now).

I might go back to AMD if the 390x turns out to be good. Nvidia is pissing me off
