Well just about all new PC games are asking for i7's for recommended requirements because why? Because they have 8 threads that can be used as "cores" .. By the way..in no way am i saying a i5 3570k cannot do the job...these newer intel cpu's are so ahead of their time, at least for gaming that you will still probably do ok with a i5...but you are better off with a i7 if you are looking at high performance settings for your PC games!

Sorry, but you DID waste your money. A i5 with perfectly play 2K15 on Ultra/1440p/60fps - even a i3 should do the job. System requirements are f ucking bulls hit, sometimes the minimum requirements are higher than the Recommended, because they are made by people who probably never build a PC themselves. A i7 in system requirements just means (a 4 core CPU with ~3GHz).
Look at the Ryse: Son of Rome Requirements - they are made by someone who has a clue about hardware. Thats more what you can expect.

"

• CPU: Quad Core or Six Core CPU
• Examples: Intel Core i5 3.3 GHz (2500k) or AMD FX-6350 3.9 GHz
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• GPU: DirectX 11 graphics card with 2 GB video RAM
• Examples: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660Ti or AMD Radeon 260x or 7850
• OS: 64 bit Windows (Vista, 7, 8)"

I suggest you wait to see what happens with those rumors of new GPUs being released this month, it could lower the price of anything you're looking at now and save you some cash.

NVIDIA or AMD?

http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-D...=operasport-20 and I think AMD 7870 are priced around that range. Sorry if thats not much of a help but I just googled best 250 dollar gpu's. I would read up on other forums for other opinions about those cards to help you choose which suits you. More opinions the better I say...good luck

Jbulls and Goff are both right just wait until the 1st-5th of Oct and if no new gfx cards have been released go with a 760 or a R9280/280x, 2gb of video ram is fine but but look for one of these cards with about 3-4gigs.

At least here in Spain there're a couple of GTX 770 models around 250€. For example, the Gigabyte GTX 770 OC is at 275€.

However, as jbulls statted, I would wait til GTX 970/980 because certainly those will come with price drops in the rest of the models.
