Good day to all of you out there still up,

Here's my specs:

AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad Core Processor
RAM 8 GB DDR3
NVIDIA GEFORCE 9800 GT
ASROCK N68C-GSFX
CHIPSET NVIDIA GEFORCE 725
SOUTHBRIDGE NVIDIA NFORCE 630a
LPCIO Winbond W83627DHG-P

i'm aiming to upgrade my graphics card with my current budget of $120.
Just want something that at least supports dx 11 and would be a little better than GIGABYTE 9800 GT.

I'd appreciate a quick response, i'm getting a little itchy in buying, but i don't know what the heck would be best to buy with my budget currently. Please help with the best card for me right now.

Any advise would be welcome, kind of a noob here so don't get mad if i ask some stupid questions about compatibilities and such.

http://www.logicalincrements.com/#!/ gives a great list of components split up into tiers, but a quick answer would be the nvidia 750 ti or the r7 260x if you are partial to radeon. Both card should give you a significant increase in performance for within your budget.

It doesn't look like you should have any compatibility issues with any of those cards and your motherboard. Although it would be a good idea to make sure the cards would fit in your case, not something that is too concerning with such small cards but something to look into nonetheless.
