(Mods, before deleting my post again can you PLEASE tell me why you keep deleting so I can correct, read the rules and don't see what I'm doing wrong, thanks)
Okay so I've been having overheating issues with my graphics card, so much that it makes my computer crash if I boot up a game. that I can't seem to do anything about myself so far so I decided to just get a new one since its from oct 2009; but I need help because I have no idea what I should get and what is really compatible.
I realize that mostly every graphics card that has been released since mine was is pretty much better than what I have now but i'm still looking for something more decent, not just a little bit better. because lets face it even a cheap entry-level card is better than my current one but i still want something that can actually support decent gaming.
