Looking for new graphic card?

[speedlingz]

I am looking for a new graphic card. The current one I have seem to be overheating alot (video card : NVIDIA XFX xxx 8600 GT http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150229 , has gone up to 110+ degrees celsius running games like counter strike global offensive). Right now my mother board is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128059 . I am running 2 gigs of ram on windows 7 with an overclocked to 3.0 ghz intel e2160 dual core processor. I am looking for a video card that is able to run games like counter strike global offensive and a video card that can run future games with no problems like DOTA 2 and etc... I also want one that has over heating problems.

Thanks people!

What is your budget?

Budget cards atm that I can recommend are the HD 7850/7870. Nothing "new" at the moment from nVidia, the 660ti is nice, but $300 can get you something better.

Also, your rig is quite old, so might be best to upgrade soon to an i5 or something similar. Newer games tend to require performance your current machine can't provide.

Quick halk-arse solution will be to replace the graphics card, but you should actually be looking at upgrading your entire machine.

The processor is kinda old and slow, you'd better upgrade it. I recommend changing the whole motherboard, RAM and the cooler (get something like an i5-2500k).If you think this is to expensive, then you could try to upgrade only the processor (take a look at the Q9550 or something like that). This is because your processor will just bottleneck any decent card on today's standard.

Jumping from a 8800GT to a GTX 670 would be nice, unless that's over your budget.
I recommend getting the GIGABYTE Windforce edition, as it can solve your overheating problems with temps just running at slightly over 60ºC even when running high quality games (bf3, batman etc...)

Also, please upgrade your CPU, that's gonna bottleneck any decent card, even entry-level cards.

8600 GT, i can't even remember how old that thing is

Go for the Radeon series, 78xx. Cheaper than Nvidia. Nvidia might be a little better but the Radeon is a decent amount cheaper though.

oh forgot to mention budget, around 100 perhaps? or is that too low

Which currency? You need at least US$200 to get the AMD HD7850.

Just came to me, your case might also be one of the reasons your system is over heating. Try removing the side panel on the case to increase ventilation (and keep the cat away from the components )

this is my case

Case is fine then. And yes, $100 is too low, need at least $210 for a 7850
HIS 7850 2GB = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161405
Sapphire 7850 2GB = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102998

(Sapphire should provide the best cooling)

will the motherboard and powersupply in my original post be able to handle the video card and is it compatible?? plus is there any graphic cards that is around 100 , the lower the budget the better because I am not looking to spend that much!

This perhaps is the best graphics card around '100'. This is considered as low end graphics card for now, but it will still play any game at medium settings with decent resolutions.

Even though this is a low end graphics card, your CPU will bottleneck this. Can you show us what motherboard you have so we can suggest CPUs that you should look into? Thanks.

Oh sorry I forget that you posted that earlier .

You can get this Core™ 2 Quad Q8400 for $160. I think you can upgrade your CPU to this and you will not have any bottleneck with that 7750.
