Depending on the quality of your PSU, HD6850, GTX 560, 6870, GTX 560 ti... not sure the price there but the 6950 is the best option, assuming your PSU can handle it.


How do you mean If my PSU can handle it? and how do I know if it will?

You are currently using onboard graphics. Any discrete card will be a massive improvement. I`m sure based on your needs you would be really satsified with even something like a radeon 5770 at only $130 or so. if you want to spend more you can get anyone of the cards that cronos suggested.
