    Oh man, why are you doing this to me? ;) :)

    as GTX760 4gb is a bit pricey for me, what about GTX660 2GB? Will it be able to run PA at uber settings at HD resolution?

    Edited:

    In fact, never mind... I found some older posts in these forums, and I made my mind on ATI r9 280 3GB. It fits my price range and after a lot of benchmark and reviews reading, I think that it will be fine.

    Thank again for your time! :)

    If price is problem then it's fine to go with AMD. ;)

    Intel isn't really overpriced... they spend 5 billion dollars on their process every 2 years. For their tick and tock. the money has to come from somewhere.

    AMD isn't that bad with Opengl.

    Ok let's say it's not just "overpriced", but most of people who buy Intel CPUs doesn't actually need this level of performance and some cheaper low-end AMD CPUs can give them performance they need.

    It's basically same situation with Nvidia and AMD from my point of view. :D

    As AMD user I do know that, but I personally tend to pay money for performance.
    Unfortunately Nvidia GPUs isn't suitable for my needs because I not just play games.
