Hi

I'm looking for a graphics card for my pc that will run Titanfall well. There's no real budget just a decent card that will work with my system. Nvidia if I can, I'm looking at GeForce GTX 560, I think this would work well?

Windows 7
Intel Core i5 3rd Gen 3.4ghz
8GB Ram (2 x 4GB)
PSU ARTIC Blue+ 750W Fan 120 mm
Asrock Extreme6 Motherboard
Cit mars case

Any recommendations are appreciated, thanks.

as you have an i5 cpu @3+ghz you can put any card you want into it as long as the psu can handle it.
your current 1 wouldnt handle a lot of the higher end cards safely. so i wouldnt load that system past 400watts.
reason i say this is it claims to have 32a on 4 12v rails which would make it a 1500w psu
if it was 32a on 2x12v it would be a 750w psu.

No budget Iceclock so whatever you think.

Hexit - Why not past 400w? I've just bought this unit from someone else relatively cheap so thought as it's a 750w psu it would handle most cards?

No budget mate, I can spend whatever. Obviously I'd like to get value for money and don't want to just start replacing everything

Do I need to upgrade the PSU? I thought 750w would be enough for most setups?

coz it is a cheap psu mate they retail for around £20-30, consider it to the price of a decent 750w psu. the cheapest half decent 1 would be around £55, average about £70, high end £100+. things like stable ripple control, over volt protections, short protections tend only to exist in name on cheaper psu's and some are more a fire hazard than power supply unit.
its the 1 thing you dont skimp on when building a pc. as a dodgey psu can and will take the pc with it if it blows.

OK that's fine. Under the circumstances, without changing the PSU at the moment what would be a good graphics card to go with that would run safely

Alternatively I'll consider any PSU upgrades that tie in with a better graphics card. Basically I'm happy to upgrade if it's going to help run games smoothly

gpu the best bang for buck are the gtx 770's and r9 280x/r9 290's both require a minimum of 650w psu (recommended amd/nvidia)
for the psu look at seasonic, enermax, antec, xfx and cooler master all have 650w-750w units between £50 and £80.
