Yeah, a 260X if keeping the expense under a hundred notes. You should find it a decent chunk faster than the GTX460. I've used a 7770 as a rough comparison to the 460, since they are about on par with each other.

Second hand is where the most performance can be had for the price, though. I'm not sure how that cpu will handle a card with a memory interface greater than 256bit. It might well be okay, but I'm not certain.

thanks for the info, but is the card at fault or me and my bf did say he asked what card in shop and they asked what it would be used for, so he told them, cause the stuttering and pixel blobs just make playing anything impossible
 
Did you try re seating the new graphics card? Try a windows update and reinstall the graphics card drivers. Yea I can imagine! I'm on a break waiting for WoD!
