Just like the title says, I have about $150-$180 to spend on a gpu. I have seen a few that I can get but I have no idea which one will work best for Alt coin mining. I have the rest of the hardware, so the video card is the last thing I need.

Here are the coins I mine currently:

Bottle Caps
BBQ
Xen
Lebowskis
Bitbar


Here is the parts I have for the new pc:

M0b0 - ASUS M5A97 R2.0
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 32gb (4x8gb)
CPU - AMD FX 8350
Cooling - Corsair Hydro H60
Power supply - Rosewill RD 750
(rest of parts dont matter)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

-Doug

BTCBTCThis is a BitCoin funded build. Every part was purchased with Bitcoins only, no cash, no paypal, no credit card.BTCBTC
And if anyone wants to donate a few bitcents (or fractions of bitcents) I would be grateful: 1LHG9WBfAo6kNiw3X1duqmbAHPM1vL5jpn

if you are willing to go as high as $220, here is a link for the good card:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202026

SAPPHIRE 100352-3L Radeon HD 7950 3GB

It will mine at 630Kh/s, so I don't think you would find anything better (Kh/$)
