You can go for ATI HD4870 its having higher performance compared to GTS 450, let me make it clear i am not having an idea about both Prices...

U have given a basic resolution 1024*768... Running in given resolution u can have GTS 450 its good enough, but for higher resolution its better to go for ATI 4870....

For performance comparison u can check this link..

my max monitor resolution is 1024x768,will directx11 bring enough things over hd 4870?

at 1024X 768 you need a better cpu than a GPU, so a GTS 450 is good, but a 5770 is better.
maybe you should get a better cpu before considering however.....
also a 4870 doesnt support dx11

 

[mrjericho1991]

well i just want to max out any game at 1024x768.dont care much about directx11.

I Think i am fine to go with HD 4870.

Hi U can also consider Radeon HD 6850 its also good but its New one and it support DX11..or another one is Radeon HD 5770 almost have same performance with HD4870

A Radeon 6850 typically costs $60 more than a 4870--but it is newer and does DX11. I really think a 5770 would be a better buy if cost is an issue. Also, I'm not sure that his CPU can handle more than a 5770 at stock speeds.

What is your current graphics card? If you have a GTS 250/9800GT or so, you won't see much, if any, improvement.

I really think you should look into upgrading your monitor first. 22" 1920x1080 monitors are the standard nowadays and are a pretty good price. Such a monitor would work for you for several years too--longer than that computer or a graphics card.
