So im looking at a new card so I can run more recent games at higher frame rates/quality.
I currently have a Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7770 1 gb ghz edition factory over clocked and it's beginning to become a pain as I had do down clock it (don't know if that's the name but whatever) as the drivers seemed to crash on directx 9 games. It is also falling behind with games like far cry 3 and I'm hoping to be able to play that at high quality and frame rates.

I'm from New Zealand so it will be from New Zealand websites and prices...

My system:

Intel core i5 3470 3.2 ghz turbo to 3.6 ghz

Gigabyte HD 55 series motherboard

Kingston hyper x 8 gb ram (2x4gb) ddr3

Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 ghz edition factory OC 1.1 ghz

the recommended is not 750W. 500W is plenty if its a decent supply. yours will get by but honestly I wouldn't use that PSU in any build. coolermaster sells junk.
