Hey guys. I am interested in playing the latest games on medium and high settings. My budget is 200-15$, preferably nothing higher.

My specs are:

Processor
Intel i5-3330
3.0Ghz/6MB L3 Cache

Motherboard
Asus p8z77-v-LX
intelz77 chipset

PSU

Corsair TX550M 550W

Case

Enermax Coenus
gray atx

What is the best video card I can get that will fit in my case and is also compatible with my PSU, motherboard etc for 200-15 dollars. A may go a little higher if it is worth it. It is possible to get a graphics care around the 200 range that will the latest games?

I was thinking about the Nvidia gtx 660. Also, is the gtx 660 much better than the 650?

Appreciate your time, as you can see I know next to nothing about computers and also English is not my first language. Thank you.

Hey thanks for answering. I will look into that card. Is it necessary to get a new case? Can I just get more fans put in or just turn the AC on?

Also what do you think of the Geforce gtx 670 with my specs? Thanks for your suggestion i will look into the AMD 7870

Didn't realize you had the case already. It's decent, just don't expect a cool crossfire/sli setup if you want that in the future

Also, the 670 is slightly better than the 7870

BUT the 670 costs $300+, for that money you could even get a 7950/7970 card. The 7870 around $200-220 w/ rebates
