Hi guys,

I've little experience in dealing with Computer Hardware but I'm looking to upgrade my Graphics Card.

I'm currently using an Nvidia Gefore GTX 460.

I've been looking at the GTX 670 & Radeon 7950.
I'm not sure which I should purchase or where I should look to purchase one at a reasonable price.
Would it make sense to top up for GTX 770?

The Current Specs are as follows,

Processor - Intel Core i5-760 2.8GHz 8MB LGA1156
Mainboard - MSI P55A-GD65 LGA1156 SATA3 & USB3.0
Graphics Card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
Memory - Kingston HyperX DDR3-1600Mhz Low Voltage 4GB x2
Storage - Seagate ST31000528AS Barracuda 7200.12 Hard Drive - 1TB, 7200 rpm, 32MB, SATA-3G
Optical Storage - LG 22X GH22NS40 DVDRW SATA
Casing - CoolerMaster Elite 310
PSU - Andyson F600M Modular 88% 600W
Audio - Onboard
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium


If your recommendation would require further information,
feel free to let me know as I'm not too sure what is needed.

Thanks!

Getting a GTX 670 would be better. Cheapest is Leadtek GTX 670 at $476 from PCThemes. HD 7950 is just a step below GTX 670, comparable with GTX 660Ti. Cheapest HD 7950 is the Powercolor HD 7950 available in most SLS shops at $399.
