Below is good reference for graphics cards, expect November version of article to come out any day.

I assume you have a PCI Express (PCIe) slot in your machine, would be very surprised if you did not, but verify you have a slot.

What wattage is your power supply?

My suggestion is to go to newegg.com. There, you can filter graphics cards in many ways. First I would filter it on the slot your motherboard has (looks like pci express 2.0, double check that). Then I would just find the best that fits the price range or even a little higher. Make sure to read the reviews on what other customers said about it.

Next step is to use those results to see if anyone is selling a card from some other site (ebay or wherever else you can find used), and you might be able to get something way better for the price. A friend picked up a GTX 670 the other day for $150, which is a steal.

I promise I just saved you several hours of researching to end up picking either one of these cards :)


oh and btw NEVER...and i mean NEVER EVER buy a used video card. it is VERY easy to OC or abuse cards then sell them without someone knowing the condition during max load.
