    Looking to upgrade my Graphics card in my PC, anyone know of a decent card?

    Hi community,

    As the title says, I'm looking to upgrade. I'm running an i7 with 8GB of RAM. My current video card is an AMD Radeon HD 6670 1GB DDR5. This looks like its a PCI x16 card. Can anyone suggest one I can upgrade to for DX11 without breaking the bank too much? I don't want to go over $200 if possible (not without having to convince my wife, anyways).

    Right now I can run using Standard Desktop settings pretty fine, but I'd really like to see better graphics.

    Thanks in advance for your help, and let me know if you need any more info!

    If your PC is a brand name what is the model? Or what is motherboard model?

    What is the wattage of your Power Supply?

    GTX 960 or R7 370. Those are your options in that price range. I'd really suggest getting 970 (best performance value for money) if possible but if you can't, those two are your best options.

    It's a Dell XPS 8300. I'll see if I can find out the wattage of the Power Supply.

    With Dell you'll most likely have to replace the Power Supply Unit too. Pre built computers come with pretty crappy PSU's so best to invest in a really good PSU & the Graphics Card

    Defaults with a 460w power supply, you may need to upgrade it for more powerful video cards.

    See following link of confirmed video cards:
