Hello everyone,

I'm going to buy myself a new video card today, and would like a bit of input from the fine folks of this community. There are a lot of options out there, so please feel free to offer any advice you can!

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Today!

Budget: $260, before any rebates, including shipping.

USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Blizzard IPs (fanboy for years, sue me!) followed by occasional FPS games.

CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: Integrated Graphics card (HD 4250), Thermaltake 850W.

OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: AMD Phenom II x4 955, 4 GB DDR3 1333

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg.com (but not required)

PARTS PREFERENCES: No preference.

OVERCLOCKING: Yes, always fun!

SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Not anytime soon.

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I have been looking at this lately but with an extra $60 in the budget I think I can get more power...

Thanks for your consideration!

GTX 560 ti if you want to spend your whole budget. GTX 460 is a little better value right now if you want to save some money.

Alright, so far my leader is the MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II and that's strictly based on benchmarks showing that Blizzard IPs perform better with Nvidia products, for whatever that's worth.

Thanks for answering, guys, I have a lot to think about!

Blizzard prefers Nvidia (sadly) so get a GTX 560 Ti MSI hawk edition.
