TL;DR Here: Working with plenty of wattage, low end CPU Athlon II x2 250 so potential bottle-necks but I don't think it will happen with cards in my price range of 125-150 bucks. Heat isn't an issue. Need something that is more powerful than my old 750 Ti.
Full information for more accurate recommendations: I currently sold my 750 Ti which served me good for about a year. I got a pretty good deal for it though so it wasn't a huge hurt to me. I traded my card for some upgradeablity. I think I should clarify that I don't have some crazy rig or even a computer I built. I wish I could build one but that is a future thing for when I have more money. I have a little HP computer that I've been upgrading and tweaking here and there as I go for a few years now. It has an Athlon II X2 250, 5GB DDR3 RAM, ATI Radeon 4200 Graphics (currently), and a new 725W Semi-Modular PSU that I got in the trade for the 750 Ti. With the cost of the PSU, which was brand new, plus the $20 cash I got in the trade, I made my money back after being able to use my GPU for nearly a year. So now I can upgrade to a bigger, badder card and I'm really stuck on what to get. I'd really love to have something maybe slightly future proof but it doesn't have to be powerful. I'm only pushing a 1600x900 monitor but I would like to be able to play everything at ultra settings on it. I don't want to be spending a whole lot though, I would like to say 125-150 is a good range for me. Please recommend something more powerful than a 750 Ti though. I for sure want an upgrade. I'm not too particular on AMD or Nvidia so all recommendations will be considered and wattage is not much of an issue anymore with the new PSU. Please no multi-card options though. I'm working with a very feature-barren mobo and only have 1 PCIe x16 slot to work with. Heat is also not an issue. I never had my 750 Ti get above 35C even in the crazy heat of summer while pushing it at 100% load and with a heavy OC on it mining crypto-currencies for days on end. I feel like I've given enough, if not too much, info to get some worthwhile recommendations. Thanks in advance for any help and sorry if some of this info isn't useful. Just trying to cover anything that could be a question in the future.
Small update: Price range is fairly flexible. I'm willing to spend a little more for a better price/performance option if need be but 125-150 is preferable.
