This is the Best and Cheap for you. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161402
Look for more 7770 in your range.

Tell your other specs too. Like CPU, PSU and Mobo.
You should be good at that resolution

And GT GTS GTX are just models names.
Best of them is GTX. You must have heard them. 😉

CPU?

 

[blenderbros1]

Core 2 duo E8500 3.16 Ghz

yup 7770 from amd or 7750 if you dont want a new power supply or gtx 650 from nvidia or gt 640 if you dont want a new power supply. so basically 640<650=7750<7770

i highly pefer nvida thats just me but which is faster gtx 650 or 7770

 

[blenderbros1]

i need the fastest i can get so just tell me that and i can make my choice thanks

 

[Sumukh_Bhagat]

7770 is faster than 650.

ok one more thing i just saw that the gt 640 has a 2gb option for 99 dollars but the gtx 650 2gb is higer if i went with the gt 640 2gb would that beat the gtx 650 1gb and how fast is the 7770 compaied to gtx 650 THANKS

As a general statement, the amount of VRAM has no effect on performance unless you go beyond a certain resolution. For resolutions of 1920x1200 or lower 1GB of VRAM is fine. 2GB of VRAM does not matter until you play games above 1920x1200 resolution, but the graphic must be powerful enough to play games at those very high resolution.

The GT 640 could have 16GB of VRAM it does not matter, it will be beaten by a GTX 650 with 1GB of VRAM.

and heres something else i notice you have a hd 5000 type i notice alot of peps has lower model numbers than some why is that??? are they faster or somthing

In general, the first number is the generation or architure, very import. The second number is a ranking within the generation, low mid high. The last one or two are small differences, like clocks speeds. So think this year's mid range card or last years high end card. A high end card that is older maybe better that new card that is on the lower end. But a high end card from a newer generation is going to be better than a high end card from a previous generation (again usually).

Look at the benchmarks and hierarchy charts.

P.S. You cpu was decent when it was new, but it getting old and obsolete. It will start holding you back and limiting your options.

i would have said buy a used 5870, but idk about on your psu
