I bought my current GPU, a 128-bit GT 430 700Mhz 1GB DDR3, 1 year ago on eBay for $40. It has served me well, but now since I am getting into After Effects more, I am thinking about upgrading. My system is well-suited for video editing (i7 2600, 16GB RAM, 1TB SATA III HDD, and a 750W Bronze-Certified PSU. (if you think perhaps a SSD would serve me better than a new GPU, please let me know). My price range is about $150, but I will buy on eBay so hopefully I can save a few bucks. I don't plan on overclocking, and I want something somewhat small if possible.
My main two considerations right now is the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB and the HD 7770 1GB. The 560 is $125 and the 7770 is $90. Also, I am looking at the GT 650 Ti 1GB (however, it costs the same as the 560 and apparently the 560 is quite a bit faster).
What would you guys recommend? Also, maybe I should get a SSD instead of a new GPU?
