A 6850 would be a huge step up at a pretty similar price. Can you manage ~140?

well I have to upgrade my power supply too and its gonna cost me about $190-$200 and that is my budget right now

LOL a 7750 consumes half the power of a GTS 450 and is a bit faster than a GTS 450 Nvidia suck in the low end GTS 450 is a no go.

Once again the 550ti consumes double the power of the 7750 and really there is not need to go Nvidia right now Radeon just has better options at every price point.

ok so which make and model of 7750 series would you suggest

If you state you budget and wattage of your PSU then we can show you the best cards for your individual situation.

ok my budget is no more than 200-220 dollars my PSU is only 400 watt but I found some 600 watts for 35-50 dollars

We can work with 400watts if it's a good branded quality PSU. You can go with this card if you PSU is of decent quality - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161384

you think just 400? I mean i might as well grab some more wattage with about a $150 g card

With the card I recommended in my above post you should be alright with your 400watt PSU what I am suggesting is use it try it out and if it works you saved money if you have problems then the purchase of a new PSU will be justified but I think you will be alright.

This is the crappy and OLD PSU I am using problem free to power a GTX 275 which takes almost double the power to run over the 6850 I recommend you get.
