Just a friend suggested looking at this range, and having the Asus Maximus MB, I really like their gear! I'm open to suggestions if you lads have some!

Three question would be what do you have now, and what is your monitor resolution and what is your ideal budget?
marko93 wrote: » Right now I have a Radeon HD5850 on loan from a friend who no longer needed it. Monitor resolution is 1920x1080, but at some point in the next year or so I'll be moving onto 1440p! Budget was around 350-400, but in saying that, it never meant I had to reach the top end of that, if the card is good and gets good performance, then that's the main goal!
marco_polo wrote: » You might be as well off with the R9 290 if 1440p is on your radar one of those babies should be very good for gaming at that resolution, otherwise a r9 280x would be fine for 1080p. They still aren't in stock anywhere but you said you're not buying for a few weeks anyway? The Sapphire Trix is probably the best one and should be doable for your budget.

Downsampling: How to bring your older games to new life in glorious high resolution.
When talking about gaming, downsampling is simply the process where you run a game at a higher resolution than your native monitor normally supports. By creating custom resolutions through the Catalyst or NVIDIA Control Panels, you can take your 1920×1080 monitor and start playing at 1440p resolutions or higher, instantly giving you a massive graphical boost and a huge reduction in aliasing. The game still looks like it’s being played at your normal native resolution, but in reality the graphics card is just squeezing everything in to fit within the confines of your monitor. Whenever you take a screenshot though, the file is rendered at your larger-than-life sized resolution, which can then be compressed down into a standard 1080p image.

Can't get a 1440p in there a long with the 280x/290! Can spare around 200 with work and Birthday cash though.
