I currently have a Radeon HD 4850 (4800 series http://bit.ly/1gHp3Rh.) I did not build this computer I am using so I need help with what GPU's will work with my build. I am looking to upgrade, I mainly use it for gaming, I don't want to spend more than $200. I would like it to be closer to $100 but I don't think I could get much of an upgrade for $100. If you guys could provide me with some advice/suggestions on what you recommend that would be great! -Thanks Ogre

Computer Specs

Processor - 3.40 GHz AMD Phenom II X4 965

GPU & PSU - Radeon 4850, ATX ilg-400W

Monitor Resolution - 1440x900

Both of the lower priced cards will have no problem playing Diablo 3 or GTA IV. (Torchlight as well I believe). But for Arma 3 and Dayz you might need something more powerful like the higher priced cards. Both higher priced cards will also play Battlefield 4 if you are interested in getting that game. I recommend spending a little more and getting either of the two better cards however you are going to need to upgrade to a better power supply as well if you do get either of those cards. Aren't computers great? XD It's really up to you. I would do some research on several cards in your price range and see some benchmarks done on those games to see which one best fits you. Hope this helps :)

In this budget for around 100 dollars you can either grab an AMD Radeon 7770 GHz edition card. Or for the Nvidia card you could get the 650 Ti for around the same price. For the 200 dollar budget (if you want to push it that high) could get you either a Radeon R9 270x or a GTX 750 Ti from the Nvidia side. What games do you want to play?
