What is the best graphics card for my dell xps 8500? I'm upgrading from a radeon HD 6670. I want something under $500 and i guess i need to upgrade the PSU also. I have 12gb of ram. Should i upgrade that to 16gb also? I know these questions have been asked before but would like a more recent update since new hardware is coming out all the time.

Really need to know your system specs to allow for a better suggestion. Dell XPS 8500 could have a lot of different setups.

That being said, off the top of my head I'd recommend AMD Radeon HD 7950 or 7970 or Nvidia GTX 770.

Im trying to put in the specs from my system.
Windows 7 64bit
intel i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40ghz

That's all i could find out about my system. I also heard there is space a space issue with the case. So if somone could pick me out a card say on newegg that good be great thank you so much for your help.

I would like to play play Metro last light maxed out if that is possible probably not though.

Justin,

I have an 8500 as well and want to upgrade to the GTX 770. Have you upgraded? If so what GPU/PSU did you go with and how has it worked?
