Which graphics card?

I've not looked at or replaced my graphics card since I got my pc built by overclockers over 4 years ago now.

In my system I have a xfx radeon hd 4870 hd x2 (dunno what x2 means as its only 1 card). Anyway recently its over heating every time I play games and I'm getting white lines across my screen , the fan is going crazy. I've cleaned it, made sure drivers are ok but I think its time has just come and I need to replace it.

I've got about £150ish to spend on a new card. Can go a little more if needed but prefer not to.

I only really use my pc to play fps type games, CSS, cs:go, bf3 and eventually I'll get bf4. So need it to play these at a decent standard if not high.

Please for a complete amateur and noob I need suggestions as looking they all sound foreign to me and wouldn't know what to chose

Help!!

The 'X2' refers to the number of graphic processor units that is on the pcb; in this case it's two 4870's.

What is the spec of your machine (cpu / psu / ram)?
