Oooo, perhaps I can get some suggestions too
I have an i7 870@2.93GHz and a Nvidea Geforce GTX460 ... the game runs fine on high, but i don't know much about upgrades even though I'd like a new Graphics card ...On a budget... :3

Whatever you can afford for a graphics card, get it. The rest of your system wont hold you back.
That is true. I just can't believe there is only a 30$ difference between those CPU's in the US. I would almost just do it for the 200Mhz difference in clock speed.The problem with getting the K version isn't that it costs a little bit more, but the fact if he'll even use it. I just suggested a normal version, since he appears to me as a person that doesn't know a lot of PC's, so even with following a guide, it's not that great for a person that doesn't know how it works, to actually try it. This is the reason I always suggest a intel version that can't be OC'd

What's your budget? If you can swing it, I highly recommend looking into Nvidia's 900 series. Probably the best cards on the market for various reasons.
The thing is, I need two :3, my SO could use the upgrade too.
Like this? Are they all one size fits all?
I'd hate to buy something only to find it wont fit where my old card went. But they are the same brand so it should be ok right?
Does the power supply need any consideration when upgrading only a graphics card? I tried googling but I just gained more questions.
Unfortunately, no. It isn't one size fits all. You'll need to determine what your case can handle, then pick a card based on that. And generally speaking, yes. But in this case, the 950 actually draws less power. It's also smaller. So if that's what you settle on, you'll be set.The thing is, I need two :3, my SO could use the upgrade too.

What to do is build your PC on this site: http://pcpartpicker.com/
It lets you put together every piece you'd want, finds the best outlets to buy those parts in your Country and warns you if there's an issues about compatibility.![]()
This is actually not true. A lot of websites, reviewers and actual tests have shown that the 380 and 390 completely desrtoy the 900 series if it's within the 200-400 range. Once you go over the 400, amd is too expensive for the price per dollar, so the 980 TI and titans win there. I don't know about the 370 or 750 though.
250 or less range. 250-400 is not what I consider budget unfortunately :3This is actually not true.
