Hi there, I'm just looking for some advice about upgrading my graphics card, regarding what would be a good choice for the other components in my pc that I already have.

Here is a list of my current components:

Motherboard - MS-7673 (also known as P67A-C45 i believe)
CPU - Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz, 3101 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
Power supply - HuntKey Jumper 550
Video card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti

If I have left out anything important let me know.

I am looking to spend up to $200 NZD, so about 160 USD. I was considering stretching my budget a bit and going for a GTX 760. Is this even possible with my current setup? I'm pretty new to all this so any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hmm... for that budget, I'd go for something like an R9 270x. It's a good card even at 1080p, and would be a nice upgrade from your 560 Ti.
This one's on sale for just your budget, if your currency conversion is accurate.

If you're not an AMD fan, you could stretch your budget a little like you said. Here's a GTX 760 on newegg, that's also on sale. It's basically the same card I have, and I'm very happy with mine. My card just has double the frame buffer (for future reference, there's no performance to gain from that).

The 760 would be better than the 270x if you want to spend the extra money.

I don't understand this recommendation. The GTX 750 isn't as powerful as the 560 Ti. Even though driver support would probably be better, this is actually a downgrade...

Wow thanks for the quick responses. I cant afford anything at the moment, I'm just doing some early research before i start saving. So it looks like the GTX 760 is a pretty popular choice, i might start looking into it a bit further. I'm concerned about my power supply, will it be enough to do the job do you think?

You'll be fine. :)

Also, yes the 760 is pretty popular. I have one myself, and I love it.
