    Hi all. Just finished my new build and am hunting for deals on a GPU. Not looking to spend more than $100-150 (pref. less). Im not a huge gamer but I play. I can play Skyrim on medium settings off the igpu so I would hope the money spent on a gpu would improve from there (not sure how much improvement though) . Im looking for the best bang for the buck.

    Try a 6870.
    A discreet GPU would definitely be the way to go for gaming.

    will these suffice for displaying hdmi 1080p on a 50" ?

    GeForce GTX 550 Ti - HDMI Version 1.4a
    Radeon HD 6770 - HDMI Version 1.4a

    HDMI Version 1.4a
    Whether you have a 20" or 50" screen, 1080P is still 1080P.

    Throw in a GTX 5xx or a ATI 6870 and your set!!! A 460 1GB is in your price range and it is a beast OCer ,,,At your resolution games will fly soo fast,, with a 460 ,, you will never drop below 60fps ,,,, gl

    This HD6870 is a much better prospect for $10 more.

    Agreed, as I mentioned much earlier I think 6870 would suit your system best.
