My graphics card died on me and I need to get a new one; fortunately, I was thinking of upgrading anyways. I'm definitely noob when it comes to Computer Hardware and would really appreciate any help in my decision.
I'll start with my PC. I have a pre-built desktop, the HP H8-1039, the specs are:
Processor - AMD Phenom II X6 1065T 2.9GHz
Memory - 8GB DDR3 1333
Motherboard - AMD 785G
HD - 1TB
Case - Mid-sized ATX
Power Supply - Internal 460W
The games I play, and plan to play when they come out are:
Bioshock Infinite
Tomb Raider
Far Cry 3 & Blood Dragon
Crysis 3
Skyrim
Sims 3
GTA V
FIFA 14
Watch Dogs
I play games mainly on my 50" Pioneer Plasma but also on my 21" Asus Monitor; both in 1080p.
The 3 different graphics card I found from the research I did, albeit with my minimal knowledge on the topic, are:
AMD Radeon HD 7870
AMD Radeon HD 7950
GeForce GTX 660 Ti
I know these cards come in so many different versions from different companies so I'd prefer some recommendations of specific versions of these cards based off my info. If any more information is needed, please let me know, I listed what I thought would be helpful but am not sure it's enough. Also, I think I may need to upgrade my power supply for one, or all, of these cards but not sure if I'd need to upgrade anything else to work with these. Thanks!
