Do u reckon that my gtx660 will do for that then it seems fine on games at the mo ie crisis 3 skyrim bf3
 
If you want to spend all £400 you could get a GTX 780. But for its performance is very pricey considering you could get a R9-280X thats not far behind in performance, for only £250...

It comes pre-overclocked out of the box, probably the fastest 280X you can get. With the money saved you can easily add another one in the near future to result in some pretty ridiculous performance.

Thats great advice mate i really appreciate it! Ive checked it out and looks great I might go for that! then hopefully my system is good enough for a few more years maybe. does it matter that my system isn't overclocked?
