Additional Comments: Basically, I would like to have a more powerful graphics card, but i understand with my current build I would need to upgrade my other parts around it. Ideally I would like this to ALL be done below $500. Thank you for reading and your responses in advance.
Why I am upgrading: Games incompatible with current graphics card or run on too low settings. For example, I would love to be able to run Grand Theft Auto V on maxed graphics.
