Hello,

My reason for getting a new graphics card is so that I can play games that need dx11

My current CPU specs are here:

http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/p/18893382/19016368.aspx#19016368

I have Windows Vista if that matters

I am looking at these 4 graphics cards:

http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/compare-result.aspx?ProductIds=10237469%2C10234350%2C10216413%2C10216412&returnPath=%257e%252fCatalog%252fProductTabCompareContent.aspx%253fSku%253d10237469%2526ItemsPerPage%253d99%2526CurrentItemIndex%253d0%2526CurrentPage%253d0%2526Sort%253dPrice%2526CurrentCategory%253d%2526IncludeParentProducts%253dfalse%2526SelectedProductIds%253d10237469

I do not know very much about graphics cards so I was hoping someone could help me out and let me know which of the 4 is the best bang for my buck. If there are smiliar cards you think are better, let me know but still please let me know which of the 4 would be the best option.

It would be much appreciated if you told me why one was better than the other instead of just stating which one is best.

Also please let me know if I can't run any of these cards for whatever reason.

Thanks!

Dells have some of the best power supplies out there, that 750 Watts is going to run ANY single card you can cram into the case!
Of the four listed my money would go on the Gigabyte GTX650 Ti, it's the fastest of the bunch although you could save a bit and go for the $130 Asus HD7770, the other one has a flashy cooler that card does n't really need and a small overclock, not worth the extra cash while the HD7750 is by far the slowest card in the group.
And how much is the gift certificate for?
I take it you're in that wonderful, fresh and vibrant country that is Canada BTW?

Yes I am from Canada.

The certificate is for $50. I am hoping to get a good card for pretty cheap because with the rate technology changes and with my lack of knowledge I don't want to invest in a card that might quickly become obsolete.

If there really isn't much of a difference between the 7770 and the GTX 650 Ti, I probably will go with the 7770.

I can still get the other card cheaper. If there isn't much difference I would rather go with the cheaper card unless there is a good reason why the 650 Ti is better than the 7770. I understand that it is faster but if there isn't MUCH difference between the cards and they will both become obsolete at around the same time, I would rather go with the cheaper one. If the 650 has more staying power than I would go with that one but no one has really explained how it is better other than it is faster. As I said in original post, I do not know much about cards so if I can't see what the differences are then sorry.
