Graphics card to use, GTX 650?

[makromoo]

I'm looking for a decent graphics card. I'm a mid gamer- Portal 2, Sims 3,etc. I want a system to last for quite a while(3-4) years. I've decided to choose i7 as I will do video, photo edititing, multi-tasking, gaming, to last a while.

I have a margin of price for graphics: max R2 000.

Intel core i7 3770 3.4 Ghz
Gigabyte Z77-D3H
GeForce Gtx 650 1GB R 1799

You can get a second hand card on carbonite.co.za for R2k, that will kick the bejesus out of that 650. Check it out, you can pick up a 570GTX for that price... almost...

I've had the GTX-650 for about 2 months.
It really is a fantastic card. Here are some games I can run on ultra settings: TESV: Skyrim, Borderlands 2, Dishonored, COD:MW4.
I've yet to find a game I can't run at full, although I haven't really "looked" for games which are difficult to run.
It really is a wonderful card, I would seriously advise you to get it.
