Replacement for 660GTX <£200

[Bluecube]

As the title really! I'm looking for graphic card recommendations to replace a 660GTX. I only game at 1080p and I've only got a 500W PSU so that's the limitations. I'm just looking for something that'll give a decent frame rate boost in any game really. Ideally I'd stick with the 660GTX but I'm offloading it into a new SteamBox.

Thanks in advance

What's your budget and current cpu?

Edit : seven damns and a fat blast! I now see your budget...

What case+PSU do you have?

 

[Bluecube]

An i5 4430 in a Bitfenix Phenom case. PSU is a Corsair CX500M I think.

Comes with a golden ticket for some free games and is this much faster than a 660 - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1039?vs=1041

^^ +1 - was the one I would have suggested.

That looks damn good but the power consumption is pretty high at full pelt. Will a 500W PSU be good enough?

 

[stulid]

Yes 500W is enough, you don't have the best 500W PSU on the market but its not going to go bang.

 

[Bluecube]

Good to know. If I had to get a PSU 'just in case' for about £50 what would you recommend?

Budget is £200 and below but thanks anyway.

Stulid - thanks again. I had my eye on the Superflower too.

But you'd save the money of a new PSU, still more expensive but less in it.

 

[Bluecube]

That's true. As it was I needed to buy a new PSU anyway which I'd somehow forgotten about! Went for the 285x and the Superflower PSU if anyone wants to know.
