Advice on Graphics Cards

[Zenaku]

The OP specifically said he/she was looking for a "cheap" GPU to run the game decently and if possible he/she would rather not upgrade the PSU. Hence the 6670, both 660 and 5770 require a new PSU. If the OP does decide to change PSU, then there are still better bang for buck options, assuming the OP still wants a cheap solution. Considering the OPs specs and the fact he/she runs at 1024 x 768, a 660 for $210+ is really not the best option.

If OP wants to future proof and is willing to spend extra, then i too would personally be recommending different stuff but to assume were being nearsighted simply because we were trying to meet OPs requirements only shows your own lack of comprehension on the issue.

What video card would you say is a worth upgrade for around 200$ i have a 450GTS. I was thinking of getting a 660 myself seem to be a good video card for 200ish.

for $200 660 is your best bet, but if your considering spending $300 on the TI and are not bound to one brand name, then i would recommend the Sapphire 7950 Dual-X, best bang for buck card out there imo, and overclocks like a beast.

ya i'm not crazy about overclocking and 660 is ok for 200$ then if i get the 7950 or the 660ti i wont have enough to upgrade my CPU. Once i have more money to waste i'm just going to upgrade everything for now i just want something to last me a few years too then.

Zenaku what kind of motherboard do you have? i noticed in a earlier post you said you were thinking up upgrading to a 1055t from a 925. while the 1055t is a better cpu, its not much of an upgrade. The extra 2 cores will help you with multitasking but not much difference in gaming compared to what you have now; I would recommend the 1075t or 1090t, those 2 would be more of an upgrade with more noticeable difference in gaming compared to 1055t.

I build my computer around the time FFXIV is about to release so i don't have support for AMD3+ so i can get any CPU as long as it's AMD3 . Once i have enough money i will upgrade my mobo and my cpu but for now i just want something to last me longer.

From the benchmark i seen the 1055 and the 1075 are only 326 in score but i guess that don't matter to much. I guess i get myself a 660 video card and save enough to get myself a 1090T or just use that money to upgrade my mobo with a AMD3+ cpu i guess i also have to get myself DDR3 ram to go with it

If your really looking to upgrade, then go with the 660, and save up for an AM3+ mobo. Then save up for a FX-6300 or any of the FX-8000 series chips. The ASRock 970 EXTREME3 or EXTREME4 are some nice boards for value.

Agreed on this. Didn't notice he had a 925. Not worth upgrading from that to another AM3.

Thanks for the help i'll do just that going to take me a while to get everything tho which sucks but w/e good upgrade.
