Hi, i have a desktop with this motherboard: Asus crosshair III formula and a 600w power supply. My current Gpu is this: AMD Radeon HD 5700 Series. I know almost nothing about pc components and i'm looking for some upgrade suggestions for the gpu.
Since i dont know which parameters i need to look to ensure a good upgrade choice, i need some help. my budget is around 100€.
The only websites i know to buy this kind of things are amazon and e-price. i would appreciate also to have linked some suggested websites where to buy pc components which can ship in EU. sorry for bad english.

Your processor is going to be the limiting factor in a lot of games. It all depends on whether you plan on upgrading your mobo and processor soon or sticking with it in addition to whether you want to buy used or new. If you want to upgrade your mobo and processor soon, get the most powerful gpu you can find in your budget. If not, I might stick with cards around the gtx 750 ti to gtx 950 performance range. If you want to get new, see if the rx 460 is in the price range. Otherwise you may be able to find a used 280x for that price which would be faster.
I am confused.
1) do you have a pc with Asus crosshair III formula in it? If yes, the PC can run or not?
2) If you had the MB+ 600W PSU+ HD5700 only, and you will need more money to build the PC.
We need more detail so that we can help, and answer your question.
 


i am sorry that you are confused
the pc is complete, it runs, i just didnt write the other pieces because i thought they were irrelevant to the thread
anyway if you need to know the processor is: AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T
RAM: 8gb
thanks for taking time answering this
