Hi, I would like some suggestions about getting an extra graphic card for my PC so that I can play more high-end games. Regardless of budget, what graphic card should I select so that my CPU wouldn't bottleneck it and my PC would still run nice considering the power it needs? (Preferably NVIDIA)
Specs:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1
i5-3570K 3.40Ghz
650W 230V 3A-6A Power supply
GeForce GT 630
ASUS P8Z77-X LX2 (Motherboard)
8GB DDR3 RAM
Games I would like to play:
Sniper Ghost Warrior 2
COD Black Ops 2
COD Ghost
Assassin Creed
(there may be more for future games as well)
Much appreciated

in SLI the cards have to be the same!,But the Crossfire by AMD means you have more freedom in putting graphic cards together,no i do not think your CPU is a bottleneck!,You may even overclock for it for a bit more confidence! but it should do alrightOh ok thanks for telling me that
I've thought of OC'ing but to a dummy like me it's too risky
alright thanks for the opinion
Overclocking a GPU is not risky at all! most of the time its just playing with sliders and seeing if you are happier with the performance!. there is a a very very small chance you will damage your GPU by overclocking!
thank you and goodluck on your system!

If you were getting an extra graphics card, it would need to be another gt630, but I would recommend a replacement gpu, depending on your budget, gtx 750ti, R9 280 or r9 290 Replacing as in taking out my current GT 630 and insert GTX 750 ti, and If I wanted an extra dedicated video card it has to be another GTX 750 ti? My CPU wouldn't bottleneck it? (sorry if I sound stupid, I never do this before lol)
