Hey guys, I'm thinking of upgrading my GPU (Radeon HD 7570) to a better one and I need your help deciding.

My current specs (HP H8-1513c):

I'm looking for a mid-high end GPU ~$200, give or take and that you can get in Canada. Also any other considerations, like upgrading my PSU for the new GPU, etc.

I don't really have any specific preferations for brand or anything, I'll be getting the card around Christmas.

Thanks and sorry if I left out anything! Any advice/comments are appreciated!

A 7850 without changing your PSU.

Good thing the 7870 is not short in supply in Canada.

I'd happily stand by Sapphire's good reputation for graphics cards

Or you can get this a little cheaper. It has only one fan but blows most of the hot air out the rear of the case.

I'd suggest a PSU of at least 500w to power the card without any worry. Or if you have a 450w from a reliable brand that should work too.


edit: I found the same Sapphire card for cheaper at NCIX.ca

...as well as one from Asus. This one appears to come with a free game from AMD which sweetens the deal.

Thanks! Do you have any recommendations for a good PSU? Sorry, I'm not the best at this stuff. ;P
