    I have been thinking of getting a graphics card, but since I am not a gamer or do video editing, should I even consider it?

    This is the one I have been considering (when it launches).

    Any suggestions appreciated.

    Yes, that is fine. If you are not a gamer. IE What do you consider a gamer being?

    Most "gamers" feel that they should play MAX resolution (1920 x 1080) at 100+ fps (frames per second). With ALL game options set to MAX.

    Is that what you are going for? if not, then yes, the 760 is fine.

    Playing any and all high-resolution games.
    Thought that was self-explanatory.

    Perhaps I should have said - Should I even consider getting a graphics card?
