This is a gaming system, but I don't really play super intense games. Mainly older mmo's.

current setup:
evga 780i
750w ps
intel 5460
8 gig ddr2
gtx260

What video card would max this system out?
gtx590?
R9 290?

I was wanting to stay about $200.

if your just playing older games on 1080p or less depending on how old you could use a gtx 750ti for under 200$ mine atm is 160-170$ depending on where you go to get it if your willing to spend about 210$ the gtx 960 is a extremely good card that will max out a lot of older games at ultra setting hell my 750ti acx/ftw will max out older games how old are the games you are talking about because both of the cards I just mentioned can max out pretty much every single game at ultra settings on all games before 2011-2012 including AA but the 750ti is iffy on shadows If I were you get the gtx 960 its newer and more powerful
