I'm building a system around an i7 3rd gen processor and originally installed a low-end Dell graphics card. I'm on the hunt for a good mid to high-end graphics card from around 2012 or 2013. Any recommendations? I'm thinking of checking eBay for options.

If you're looking for something reliable, I'd suggest checking out the GTX 900 series. They still receive driver updates, which is a big plus compared to the older 700 or 600 series cards.
The GTX 960 fits my budget perfectly, so I might go with that one since I want to use this setup for Windows 10.
Have you thought about a GTX 670? They can be found for around thirty bucks, but the GTX 680 does cost a bit more.
Just to throw it out there, my i7 3930k runs an RTX 2070, and it handles 4K gaming with high settings at around 30fps. Just something to think about!
You might also consider the 780 Ti; it was pretty solid back in the day.
Exactly! Those driver updates are crucial.
