I currently have AMD Radeon HD 7450. Heres my computer specs; Dual monitors HP 1080 reso, 10 gigs of RAM AMD FX(tm)-6120 Six core processor 3.50 GHz 64 bit WIN 7. Price range is around 300 im looking for the most bang for my buck. Thanks for the help!

First look at your power supply, then you can buy a graphics card.

For $195 get: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127722

for $255 get: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130933

If you want Crysis 3, get the 7870, but if you want better performance the 760 is the best option for this price range.

Benchmarks: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_760/27.html

Stock vs Stock the 7870 is 18% weaker at 1080p, but it is a $60 price difference. I would grab the 7870, and Crysis 3, and overclock that sucker.

For a 7870 and 760 I recommend at least 500w. If you are overclocking you might want a higher quality PSU, like Seasonic or Corsair. If you need a PSU I would get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028

It is a great deal, and your overclocking headroom would be great. If you want to Crossfire/SLI in the future(if you can) Then i suggest getting at least a 700w, maybe a 750w for overclocking. This: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341041

is what you want for overclocking and CrossFire/SLI.
