alright so my computer has been running the same graphics card for quite a while (roughly four years) and about 6-7 months ago i dished a solid 600-700 into sprucing up both the motherboard and the CPU, but now i think my graphics card is slowly dying, im just not getting the same performance i used to on games IE: i normally run league of legends at ultra on everything at a smooth 60fps, no matter whats going on, teamfight or not. now im running on medium on everything and i see noticeables drops when it gets crowded, im not running anything in background (except stuff like steam and my antiviruses but thats never affected it before) and lately my computer has been crashing mysteriously, suddenly my entire screen will freeze, become hugely pixelated and white, then immediately after it restarts, im thinking my graphics card has done its time so i was wondering if you guys could help me find a good fit, heres a few requirements:

-must be able to buy it in canada, not imported from the states( supporting business here)
-no more then 500$


also, for compatibility reasons, heres my specs, as from CPU-Z:

MOTHERBOARD: AMD TA990FXE
CPU: AMD FX-6100
RAM: 6GB DDR3
GRAPHICS: AMD RADEON HD 6900 SERIES

now ideally if i could get a couple options, ranging in prices and maybe brands, or just pointers on what card to get, that would be hugely appreciated, ill be checking this trend several times daily so if you need more info, dont hesitate to ask! thank you!

an r9-290 is probably the best gpu you'll even sniff at for $500 Canadian... that said you probably don't need that much card. A r9-280x or gtx 770 is probably all you'll ever need on a single 1080p monitor.
