[zachair]

Ok its up to me to decide whether to get the XFX HD-485X-ZDFC Radeon HD 4850 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 or SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express Video Card which one is the better one? for my pc ?

Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS AM3+ AMD 760G
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz Socket AM3 95W
PSU: CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 430W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified
RAM: G Skill DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800). 2GBx2 Desktop RAM
GPU: N/A

Well they both seem like low end cards, but take in mind i have no experience with these cards but judging by this benchmark, they are very similar cards only differing in price. What i would do is save up for a better Mid-High Tier card.

Well what GPU would you suggest for my current PC setup? the highest I would pay is about $150 that's my max lol. remember my PSU is 430w (just bought it and not buying another one) I don't want to buy something and end up burning up my whole computer

How long ago did you buy your PSU? Could possibly return it and buy a bigger one to support a better card like a 6850 or 550 Ti. Both those cards will run nearly anything pretty smoothly at high/ultra/max settings.

Whilst you have a high enough wattage, your computer is using pretty much it's full potential, whilst with a 600w it'll be hardly using any of it's potential. Long story short, upgrade your PSU wattage for better performance and less energy consumed.

At a glance i'd say the 6670 would be better by a small margin.
My friends has it and from my knowledge he can play dayz bo2 and bf3 at like medium up to max quality so its not too bad of a card.

I'd go for the first one, then the final decision is up to you
