Need hep buying new graphics card

[fuzz080]

Hey guys, recently bought a new computer form futureshop, and being a computer noob was led to believe it would run most new video games on decent settings. After much hassle with the employees I've just decided to buy a new card. Anyways this is the comp I currently have: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/gateway-gateway-intel-core-i5-2320-desktop-computer-dx4860-ef31p-dx4860-ef31p/10180942.aspx

I'm hoping to run games like skyrim, the witcher 2, portal 2 etc. with a card for around 200$. This comp is almost exclusively used for gaming, and my monitors resolution is 1920x1200. Hopefully I've given you guys the info you need, but if not just ask.

You want that one, if it will fit in your case.

Don't get a GTX 560, the HD 6870 is more powerful and cheaper. You can also get it with 2GB of vram. Also, XFX sells a very small version of the card. If you want Nvidia, get the 560 Ti. It's a good card, but expensive.

Could I get a dircet link to the card your recommending? When I google the card, multiple brands come up.

You will want to upgrade your PSU as well. Get at least a quality 450W unit.

a good psu is always needed if you want a good gpu and at that res i will recommend you an hd 6870 like the minimum gaming power
