Hello all:

So i have the following

CPU: Q6600 quad 2.4 GZ
mobo: P5G41T-M LX Plus Socket 775 G41 mATX Intel Motherboard
http://www.microcenter.com/product/380270/P5G41T-M_LX_Plus_Socket_775_G41_mATX_Intel_Motherboard

Need new Ram (4 or 8 GB) 1333Mhz DDR3
Need new PSU looking at Corsair 500 watt (has two 6 pin gpu conn)

I want to know what is the best GPU i can get w/o being limited by processor. I currently have the radeon 4670, but since my PSU failed, I figured its time for an upgrade.

Looking at the MSI radeon 7770 OC or the GTX 650. Are these too much, too little etc.

Budget for a video card...$200.00

I have no desire to build or buy a new rig. Just want the best that is avail for my already, perfectly good working stuff. I am interested in overclocking, if that makes a diff

Thanks for reading
 
For ram....go for the corsair vengeance 4GB X2
For psu....go for the Corsair GS500
For gpu....go for the HD7770

if you want to overclock....ensure that you have a good aftermarket cooler too,the stock processor cooler is just not enough

you can go for the CM Hyper 212 Slim
 


I have an 5 year 24 inch dell monitor 1900 x 1200 (or 1080). still works like a charm.
 


Thanks for you reply. 164 after rebate..Not bad at all, plus a free game (I know someone who could use that). Is there a big diff between the 1 GB and 2GB. Only 20 more. This card is not 'too much' for my set up. Thanks again.
