I just recently purchased a PC for mostly gaming. I know decent amount about the guts of a PC except for graphics cards. Don't know a thing. SO when I finally downloaded Skyrim and Need For Speed I was severly disappointed in the way my Intel R HD Graphics card i think its called preformed. So im looking to upgrade. My max price is about 150-175 dollars. So could anyone recommend a card that could run games like BF3 and skyrim well? Thank you!
Need help with a graphics card for gaming!

For that price, the GTX 650 ti Boost is going to be the way to go:

You need to open the case and look at the label.
More important is the amount of amperage on the 12v rail and the total wattage.

Something like this would do well:

Really, anything in that wattage range made by Corsair, Seasonic, Silverstone, XFX, Super Flower... between $50 and $80.

the 7750 will run BF3 around medium. your budget is pretty low, if you actually want to run BF3 on high or ultra you should get the GTX 650 or better or Radeon 7950

btw srsly this is degrading......human stupidity....hes been cheated.......i bet you he went to best buy..............
I'd go with the 650 ti and new psu. 650 ti has the best price/performance of any gpu, at least when i purchased it for my pc. I can run almost anything at highest settings, sometimes i have to turn down AA and fancy lighting effects.

William Longstreet :
just get a 760 for 249.99
Cause spending $100 over budget plus an even nicer PSU is a great idea. If you found some good deals on a nice PSU, you could get both a new PSU and the 650ti for 200, maybe even 175 if you get super lucky, but probably not.

A 650 ti boost just cant do it much longer. We have more demanding games and more need for faster clocks, faster VRAM, faster Memory bus'es.... tahts why a 760 is a great investment. he SHOULD return his pc and build one...lololol..
