Hey guys, I want some input from the community on what kind of upgrade i can make towards my GPU. I play lots of games from Steam, LoL, D3, and recently I started playing Warface. But the best I could play on was low graphics, which sucked.. So I really want to change that. My budget would be probably around $150-200? I really have no idea how much a decent gpu replacement would cost.

***I'm sorry, my budget is actually $150, not $200.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! I'm going to get Radeon HD 7790

i had the same card i upgrade to a gtx 460. Although it is a bit old, it has dx11 (which the gt 220 doesnt) and is more powerful than gtx 650 or 650 ti (search it on hwcompare.com). Now, it costs around $80-100. You could grab a bargain and maybe run two in sli (although you would have to upgrade your psu and im not sure your motherboard supports sli). So, i run bf3 on high with 60 fps with one gtx 460 1Gb and ultra with around 45 fps, so this card is definitely worth considering.

Yes thats a good deal, but try auctioning for one as you will usually save a couple of bucks. Also, the 460 is 256 bit which means it is very fast, for example the gtx 660 is only 192 bit (the morebits the faster). If your a bit unsure try searching youtube for something like "gtx 460 gaming".

Yes, you will need to upgrade the PSU if you want to install the Radeon HD 7850. You don't exactly need a 600w PSU for it, but the one I recommended costs less than the 500w version with the rebate.

If you do not want to upgrade the PSU, then go with the Radeon HD 7790.
