I think a 650 ti, a 7850 or a 660 would be good for your system. How much do you want to spend?

any current video card will work fine in your computer. look at tom's "best bang for your buck" article for the best video cards in your budget range.

It may need a stronger psu. I haven't heard of that brand, and it might not be reliable. For video card under 220, I would look at a 7850

Or 660

or the 7870

Also look at the 7870 le if you can go a little over budget.

thnx, i will go for the 7870, it will fit in my budget. as for the psu, can you suggest me a good psu under 90$, that will support my system and the card perfectly.

These both look pretty good. The 650 watt would allow you to make some add ons as well.

hi i just found a official page of my psu, thought you might take a look and tell me if it is compatible with the card

Unfortunately it's not. You need 2 pcie connectors in order for the 7870.

Avik Biswas · May 17, 2013

lt_dan_zsu :

what about the other two cards? will they run?

lt_dan_zsu · May 17, 2013

Yes, I believe they only require one connector. They will probably work fine on your psu, but heavy overclocking might not be doable.

Avik Biswas · May 17, 2013

lt_dan_zsu :

thnx, i dnt wanna overclock my card, i think i will go for the 7850 or 660..... based on their recommendation. thnx you are a great help.

iball is not reliable if you dont want to fry your gpu & system dont even try that even my friends 6770 failed on that psu. Just warning you might be putting everything on risk.
