Advice on Video Card (mainly for 2.0)

[Kluya15]

Currently have a Geforce 250, have had it for a couple of years, and it's been holding XIV up pretty good, but I think it's time that I upgraded. My budget is around $150~$225 roughly, and haven't really been keeping up to date with the video card selections out there.

I've heard that ATI cards run better with AMD processors (i have a 6 core 2.9ghz) but I typically use Nvidia cards. If anyone has some advice on a purchase, would be appreciated. I usually use newegg or tigerdirect btw. Thanks

** It's for a PCI-E 2.0 slot
