Please recommend a graphics card for this setup

[I kill Bunnies]

Hi all,

I recently bought a new Gaming setup but still require a graphics card.

I currently have...

I think the graphics here are supplied from the chipset and a more specialised one is needed to play games such as Skyrim.

Can anyone recommend a good graphics card that will fit into the above setup OK? I don't mind spending up to £300 but my setup may mean a high end card is not utilsed fully.

Also does anyone think an upgrade of sound card would be necessary to?

I'd be grateful for any comments, thanks.

If you're not happy with the sound, then this should give things a nice improvement :

Hello and welcome to the forums

You're right, a £300 gfx card would be watsed. If you have not yet bought the system, then an i5 rig would be better

If you have already got it, and presuming THIS is the PSU inside it, then I'd suggest one of the following:

Comparison of 7850 and 660:

I personally would go with the 7850 as it's cheaper, performs pretty much the same and has a better cooler

As for sound cards, my friends have said they noticed the difference over onboard by adding one (using a Logitech speaker system).

Make sure you can fit that in with your gfx card

Good call, Cleee...your sound card suggestion will save a good few more quid.

Will the cards recommended above still be OK?
