==========
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Within 3 weeks (sooner the better) $100 to 200$ (i dont do rebates)
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Heavy gaming, Currently playing BF3 with everything on low at 40-50 fps, I want to play upcoming releases such as Crysis 3 which my current card does not support at all (game wont even start). Then the usual web browsing with videos and movies.
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: BFG Tech GeForce 9800 GT 1GB PCIe 2.0 x16 GDDR3, RS-500-PCAR-D3 from COOLERMASTER 500w PSU
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: AMD FX-4100 4.0GHz (Quad Core Zambezi) , 970A-D3 GIGABYTE mobo, 8GB G.SkiLL ram. The case itself currently has 3 built-in fans.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg, tigerdirect, I'm open to any good website with good prices and is trustworthy of course. I'm in the United States (east coast)
PARTS PREFERENCES: I have a preference to nvidia gpus because it's all I have ever used but if it is honestly believed a radeon card can be just as trustworthy then i am ok with it.
OVERCLOCKING: I do not care about overclocking my GPU so no. SLI OR CROSSFIRE: I have no intention of SLi or Crossfire so no.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: My current resolution is 1680x1050 (native)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I just need a card that's going to last me, since I bought the 9800 about 3-4 years ago I have run every game flawlessly up until today when I tried Crysis 3 Beta and the game wouldnt launch as the card doesnt support DX11, I then decided its time to upgrade. Also, I'm aware the PSU might be a concern if I want a stronger card so please throw some suggestions for that as well IF NEEDED.
