My 7850 2gb went dead on my three and half year old budget build. I'd like to squeeze a year or two more out of this build before embarking on a full rebuild if possible. 1080p gaming.
Part list below.

I'm trying to decide whether to 1. Buy something like a 480, accept the fact it will be bottlenecked and reuse it when it comes time for the new build. 2. Find a cheapish card (maybe a GPUshack refurb) to fill in the one to two year span. or 3, convert it into an internet machine for the family and just dive into a new build. I'm not really sure I want to bother with overclocking, especially since I'm not sure what killed the 7850 in the first place.
Any help would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.
