How does the GTX 650 ti hold up? I’m thinking about building a MicroATX box for gaming and the 650ti seemed like a reasonable card to use. I’m not doing anything overly new or hard core, but I’d like a decent graphics card that doesn’t break the bank.

You could probably get a 750ti for about the same price now.

650 ti is great but I only used it because it was my old card (I have a 960 now.) and because my Bros monitor was only 900p so the 650 ti shouldn't struggle playing anything. I advise to buy new and get a 950 or an r9 270x

For a microATX I am worried about the 950 putting out too much heat. Plus it raises my budget quite a bit. A 750ti is probably enough for me considering the games I play.

The GTX 950 isn’t a really hot card. Heat isn’t usually a problem unless you’re doing huge overclocking.

I’ve got an R9 290 in an ITX case and it’s fine.

Nothing special, a 20" at 1860x1050. Mostly I play games that aren’t that new, lately been playing a lot of Payday2 but we will probably start something newer soon. I definitely don’t need the latest graphics card for what I usually play. I’m trying to make a semi-portable system that’s better and cheaper than a new laptop, so I’m going to use a hacked up older Dell All-in-one stand to hold a microATX case and monitor together. It used to look pretty much like this:

This is approximately the machine I’m set up to buy. Should be good for many years to come. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ZpqKYJ

Okay. It’s still pretty pricey though. I think the 750 will be fine for me for a few years to come.

Honestly for what you are saying you probably don’t need that i5 or that 16 gb of ram (geez are you editing video all the time?) your monitor is just right for a gtx 950 which should play most games high to ultra at that resolution. better part list. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8PmyJx

I don’t need 16GB of RAM but it is so cheap! Plus my understanding of the chipset design is that you will get better performance by filling all 4 RAM slots.

Does the full GTX950 fit in a MicroATX case? I thought it needed to be a ti card to fit.

you will get better ram performance with dual channel so get 4gb by 2.

Wow, the 950 is the same height as the 650ti, cool! Thanks.

Huh. The 950 has come down a lot in price since I first made that list. I’m definitely going to use it.
