Ok, So my system is getting a bit dated in the GPU department. Running 2 monitors with 1gb of VRAM with my GTX 560 can't be good for the old timer, so I need good options that are cheap. I'd like to avoid AMD Hardware, as i'm not looking to spend even more money to cool my GPU, and IMO Nvidia is a superior product overall, yes they are ~20% more costly, but they are also more powerful. I buy most of my parts on either Newegg or Amazon.

Current Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H
RAM Capacity: 8GB (One of the sticks is slower than the other though so RAM speed is throttled down in the dual channel)
HDD Capacity: 1 TB
OS: Windows 10 Home
DVD Drive
PSU: 460 Watts
Monitor: Asus VG248QE @ 1920x1080 (Main), Unknown Make & Model @ 1440x900 (Second Monitor)
Overclocking: No
SLI/Crossfire: Motherboard only does Crossfire, so No.
Use: Gaming (SW:ToR, Skyforge, Planetside 2, Minecraft, Rift, ETC.)
Budget: Under 400 USD.

Hmm, That's really tempting. I don't quite have the money (yet), but it will not take too long to get the money as my birthday just occurred so I have a slight influx of cash. Thanks for the suggestion!

Edit: I found a cheaper deal on Amazon for a similar setup.

and since my parents pay for Amazon Prime, I can get it shipped quicker than Newegg or other vendors.

While I thank you for the suggestion, I would like to avoid using AMD products. I have had a bad history with AMD products, either they overheated and died, or the drivers just stop working and the card fails to work.
