I asked this question yesterday, but I've increased my budget slightly now, from £100 to about £130, maybe even a tad bit higher. I was thinking of getting the 7790, but seeing as I've increased the budget I wanted to see what y'all thought was best value for money. My specs:

Intel i3-2120 @3.30 GHz
8 GB RAM
1440x900 resolution

Any other specs you need? What GPU should I get? Preferably a Radeon.

If it's a Corsair 430W. or similar, then you can run an AMD 7850. Get 2GB, and they are good price at the moment.

It will run higher resolutions more easily if you have the settings turned up in games. Look here for some cards:

Strongest graphic cards you can get for that power supply is either a single 7950 or a single 660ti, both which the power supply as enough watts/amps to power.

More Vram it would be better to just let you read the definition:

For any modern game you will require 2GB of VRAM, but since you play at a fairly low resolution VRAM won't be a big issue for you.

You should wait for the AMD R7/R9 series coming out very soon before you decide to upgrade.
