Hia,
Over the past year I've been upgrading my PC, so all my hardware is fairly new and I'm happy with it. However, my graphics card is a cheap £70 Radeon 7750 I bought 3-4 years ago. So I think its time for an upgrade. But I'm not sure what card I should get and would like someones opinions other than my own on what's the best price to performance upgrade for my pc.


I have a budget of about £250-£300 and am looking for a strong card that can run newer games at decent settings, fallout, battlefront, just cause 3 etc. I also use things like after effects and premier pro quite a bit.
One thing to take into account is that I have a 450W PSU with no 8-pin connector.
I'm looking for a long term graphics card but am aware that my PSU isn't the best, so if a PSU upgrade is necessary then I'd be willing to spend around £120 on a new one. (On top of the budget)


Here are my full specs:

Case: NZXT H440
MoBo: Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming7
CPU: Intel i7 4790K
PSU: Corsair VS 450W
GPU: Radeon HD 7750 1GB

Thanks,
llama
