Currently using a 560ti, which is starting to struggle recently.

I play at 1080, CPU is a Phenom 955BE and my PSU is 500w.

Whats my best bet for £200? Was looking at a 660ti/760, or potential pick up a 7950 on MM?
 
I'm no expert when it comes to cards but if it plays everything i want then its a good card to me :)

I recently went from a 580 3gb classified to a gigabyte 670 windforce and glad i did,runs very very very quiet and cool,plays everything really well.

My advise is,you have had a nvidia so stick with them if you like them :)

Thanks for this.

I do prefer Nvidia in honesty, but at the same time I'll probably go with the best card for the price.

I hate upgrading. Decisions, decisions, lol.

Yes,upgrading can be a pain but i just get a card for my budget,i had £200 to spend and got a mint 670 from the members market for £200,im very happy with it and only took a few days to decide.

If I were you I would save a little more and not only upgrade the GPU, but the CPU as well. The Phenom 955BE is slow as hell versus Intel i5 and above, and it will be severely bottle-necking your performance, especially if you buy a fast card like the GTX 670.

If you can self-build I would check out the OCUK Members Market and get some reliable second-hand parts... should be some Ivy Bridge i5's around with decent mobos that will save you a lot of money.
