The main reason I am upgrading is because I believe I am having driver issues with Win 10. AMD is no longer supporting my card, and so I have to restart my computer every day or so because video stops playing and games won't start. So, one of my goals is to find a card within the budget that will be supported for the longest amount of time. I may look to upgrade motherboard/CPU/RAM later, but that is not a priority. If it is possible to take advantage of some black friday or other deals, that would be great, but I do not have to be in a super rush if waiting would be my best move. I don't play graphic intensive games at extreme settings... Diablo, HOTS, etc. at 1900x600.

current PC specs:
AMD Radeon HD 6800
Corsair TX650 PSU
ASRock Z77 Extreme 4
i5 3450, 3.1GHz
8 GB RAM

Thanks for your help!

I'm guessing you went from win7 to win 10.... i don't see many manufacturers going to older rigs to give them win 10 drivers.

that being said that's a pretty old card. 3rd gen i5 probly can be useful for awhile still with moderate gaming.

this is in my list for good cards at 200 bucks.
