Pretty much any single GPU card you want, a budget would help.

Around £200, i suppose.
Which would you recommend, to be paired with fx 6300. There is the hd 7950 for under £200, or Nvidia cards have been getting great deals recently. Saw a 660 ti for about £140 a few days ago. Also the next AMD series are coming out soon, so current prices will drop hopefully,

The Gigabyte Windforce 670 is around that price, its a touch faster than the 7950 at stock speeds, and will use alot less power and generate less noise.

You'll probably want to consider at least overclocking that processor, to avoid slowdowns in CPU intensive games, if you haven't already.

Will do, but first i will need a aftermarket cooler.
Thanks for your help.
Appreciated

Hyper 212 Evo is cheap and will suffice.

Just so long as it needs at most 1x6pin and 1x8pin.

Probably something around the 670/7950 level, as above.

HD7970 are going for 200 on eBay. As good as a gtx680 when overclocked! I just got one and I'm using the exact same psu as you
