I have a custom-built "Hackintosh", Intel Core i5 3450 3.10 GHz CPU, Intel HD 2500 GPU. I want to upgrade my GPU. I need a GPU that is good for gaming and is well-supported on Linux. I use Linux as my main OS and I use Windows for gaming.

Would I be able to use any GPU, or are they specific to the CPU? I was looking at nVidia Geforce, but they have very limited support on Linux. So I'm thinking perhaps a better Intel GPU would be my best option. What are your suggestions on this? What is the best GPU that is well-supported on Linux, is good for gaming, and is compatible with my CPU?
