You could probably barely make the 7950 (looking amazon.co.uk, not quite sure on uk pricing) or easily the new 7870 xt/le with the tahiti core. 3 years is quite a while, but I'd say you'd need to upgrade your CPU before the GPU.

Thanks. The GDDR5 is the gfx card's on board video RAM and is not affected by the memory type the mobo supports, so GDDR5 card is compatible with a DDR3 board.

Also, you cannot run an Nvidia's Geforce cards with Radeon cards for CrossfireX, they're built that way. Although you may be able to keep your old card as a dedicated PhysX card, I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable on that topic. Best thing to do is part ways with your old card and sell it or keep it as a back up.

I wanted to recommend you a Geforce card, but the 670, the Nvidia card most comparable to a 7950, is well beyond the price you're able to pay.

Why not GTX 660 or higher ? nvidia have PhysX .
