I bought my DIY comp on the 2009 with intel I5 and Palit GT 250, planning to upgrade my graphic card which I plan to buy second hand. Out of touch already with the recent hardwares. Is 7850 or 660 is a good upgrade? Are there any recommended graphic card? Looking at late 2012 to 2013 cards.

Lol my first card was a asus gtx 250. I switched to 560 and got a enormous boost.

Get yourself a 760 instead of 660 if you have 400dollars.

lol. I tried playing COH 2 with it, lag like hell. So thinking of upgrading. Since im only considering upgrading the GPU, i only have around $150 to spare for a second hand GPU.

Will any of my other components lag? Since its not such a major upgrade?

Hey Bro, got this guy (Not me), selling GTX 580 3GB for $180..
Also Saw a GTX580 1.5GB for $150 I think.
GTX 580 is hell of a card. Can play up to BF4.
No warranty though..
