Video card help

[Overkill]

I will be building a gaming system pretty soon for my son, can you guys recommend a good video card?
Something that can handle most games and video editing etc, but not crazy expensive???

It depends a bit on the budget you have. Here is some examples:

http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R9-270-GAMING-2G.html#hero-overview $150

your budget for a GPU is? What would be the processor ?

What would be the processor ?

This is the question to ask, along with the motherboard, as all this will depend on what you can run with it..

the newEVGA GeForce GTX 960 SuperSC great price low power consumption and very good performance at 1080 resolution

Games and Video editing, seems the processor here will be Intel i5 to i7 and if AMD it could be A8 and above.

Any ideas how many RAM you wanted to allocate?

buy only intel cpu.
buy graphics card later. New upcoming graphics cards with directx 12 will get huge performance increase.

[songoku316]

all nvidia 9 series cards have support for DirectX 12

Processor, What do you guys think about this mobo? I would like atleast 8gb of ram

My budget on gpu would be no more than $150-$200

what is the complete budget, or the other components you have? Its easier to buy according to all components

FX 8350 is great CPU, about mobo, I would rather go with 970 chipset, something like Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P.
GPU to pair (bellow 200$) would be r9 280 or if you can find r9 285 but both are excellent graphic cards... r9 280 has more VRAM , so it might be better in higher resolutions or in video editing.
If you can put by some 20 bucks more you can buy GTX 960

Well I am still looking, can you suggest an asus mobo with onboard video under a 100 bucks?
I'm still learning hardware, other than the type of cpu your using, what do you look for when choosing motherboards?
