Why Are You Upgrading: I'm having trouble running game Planetary annihilation, would love to run witcher 3 in some good graphics.

my build
amd phenom ii x4 955
core speed 3467.29Mhz
Mainboard M5A99X EVO Chipset AMD RD 9x0
Memory ddr3 8gb
Graphics nvidia geforce gtx 560 ti
 
At 1200p you will need something like a 480 to really drive witcher 3 at high/ultra. The game is ok at 45fps and upwards as it isn't a fast fps.

You could probably pick up a rx470 which would do the job well enough..but they are 200usd. Unless you go used, not sure much for 150$ will do THAT much better than a 560ti. Maybe a used 960?
