Hey everyone.
I have been scanning the internet far and wide on graphic cards. My original plan was to add a second card to my rig. But I soon discovered this would not be efficient because I own a Gigabyte 970A-DS3P mobo and I have found that it is worth buying one single card.

Now if you disagree with me so far let me know what setup with two cards is best, but I am sure one card will be better.

Anyway, so I am now in a decision process. Here is my rig:
AMD FX-8320 3.5Ghz
8 Gig AData XPG v2
Nvidia GTX 650
Gigabyte 970A-DS3P

If anyone could help me find a better card that can run games better, remove choppy video play in editor(Sony Vegas) that would be awesome. I haven't listed a price budget because I am not sure, so maybe if you can list a expensive upgrade then a reasonable but good card as well.

Thanks everyone!

I do a ton of video editing with GoPro videos. The 650 is fine but I want to edit with effects better and game as well. Do I need a special card, because when I am looking up cards they say MSI or PNY and EVGA?

those companies only put their coolers on the stock AMD/Nvidia cards sometimes a custom PCB too but some of the best are:
Asus
Evga
Msi
Sapphire
XFX
and some that I´m forgetting right now :)

So it really is a preference of cooling fan, I know see my card is MSI. Thanks for clarifying, I am no bueno when it comes to graphics cards. :D
