Hi

Recently I've started to notice that many of the games I'm looking to pick up can't be run at max (or close to max) setting with the fps I require. As such I'm looking to upgrade from my GTX 560 TI to a better gpu. If Anyone had any advice on which GPU to choose that would be great, at the moment I had my eyes on GTX 760 or the like, so a card under £200 would be preferred, but I may be able to go higher.

My current setup is:
CPU: i5 3570k 3.40 GHZ
MB: ASRock H77 Pro/MVP
RAM: 2x4gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3
GPU: GTX 560 TI 1279MB
OS: Windows 7

Thanks, and feel free to correct/question anything I've said as I'm pretty clueless when it comes to PC builds.

The GTX 760 is a great card, I say get it if you can.

Yea, 760 or r9 280x or bump the budget to 225 and get a 770. How big a PSU you have?

I would grab an R9-280 those cards are an absolute steal right now! The card benchmarks better than a gtx 760 and performs on average 3-4 frames better plus it has 1 more gigabyte of vram, which will come in handy if you are using heavy mods on games like Skyrim. It costs about the same as the MSI twin Frozr GTX 760. The 760 is no doubt a fantastic choice however.

If you were to go even higher, definitely grab a GTX 770.
p.s. I am in now way a fanboy of EITHER Nvidia or AMD, however they both have their strong suites.
