Hey there, I'm wanting to upgrade my graphics card because the one I have at the moment is a bit unreliable. It has quite a few fps drops, some absolutely awful screen tearing and it's just not as powerful a card as I am wanting at the moment.
My specs are:
Case: Antec 300 Gaming Case - Black
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz (overclocked to 4.6) Sandybridge
Power Supply: OCZ ZS650w PSU
Motherboard: Gigabyte 277X-D3H Intel 277 (Socket 1155) DDR3
Cooler: OcUK h2 Flo Extreme CPU Cooler
GPU: HIS ATI Radeon HD 6950 2GB
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
Hard Drive: 500GB HDD (with external)
I'm was looking at this card: KFA2 GeForce GTX 680 LTD OC V2 2048MB
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-030-KF&tool=3
I am well aware that I would have to upgrade my power supply, which power supply would be a good one to go for?
Also, I am open to suggestions in terms of what card I should go for. I am really just eager to get a card that will run any current game at 60 fps and above and I am aware that it could cost quite a lot of money. My budget for the card itself would be £500, but that would be the maximum (excluding the power supply cost).
I am wanting to run games such as Assassin's Creed 3 when it comes out smoothly as close to top spec as I can at 60fps if that's possible with my budget.
Overall I am wondering what I would have to upgrade in my PC to match the card I linked above, or whichever card you would suggest.
Thank you
