Hi,

I'm currently upgrading my PSU and also looking for a GPU to upgrade my system. I get recently a new monitor and i want to use it with the oldest. I also interested to play games with decent graphics without getting a bottleneck.

My system specs are:

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE 3215 MHz
Mainboard: Gygabyte M68MT-S2P
RAM: Kingston 4GB DDR3-1333 x 2
Budget: 200 USD

I appreciate any advice you can give me.

Thanks

Ive found that my 7950 3GB + x6 1055t @ 3.8ghz match well together. I play at 1440p though.

So I would agree that the 7850 + x4 955 should go well. At 1080p the 2gb vram on the 7850 should be plenty.
^ That's not really within $200.

You could go with a Radeon HD7850 and a new power supply for that price.

This power supply should be able to support the card. It has been used in many system build marathons here on the website.
