Here are the specs of my machine:

-Asus M5A97 R2.0 - Motherboard
-AMD FX 6100 3.3GHz, 14MB Total Cache - Processor
-Corsair XMS3 DDR3 8GB(4GBx2) - Memory
-Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB - Hard Drive

My card finally bit the dust so I'm looking to spend $150-$200(CDN) on a new one and I'm hoping to get some recommendations on which route to go. Nvidia? Radeon? I'd appreciate some specific cards that would be good with my current hardware. I mainly play Blizzard titles (Diablo 3, Starcraft 2 etc.) but very recently started buying games on Steam as well. I'm in Canada so preferably from a site I won't have to pay an arm and a leg to get it shipped to me.

Thanks for

I did quite a horrid job of proofreading this post as I totally missed the PSU and ended it with thanks for... idiot. Anyway I have a OCZ 600W power supply, and thanks for taking the time to read and reply, your suggestions are greatly appreciated!
 
Solution
For the types of games you say that you will be playing, a Radeon hd 7850 should be plenty powerful to run either game on max settings at 1080p.
As long as your power supply is 500 W or above, you should be good. :wahoo: Good Luck!
