Hi guys I'm after some advice. With my current system, which I hope is shown sufficiently in my sig, I'm looking at the best upgrade/upgrades for it with graphics in mind. I have been playing Battlefield 3 but have found the card to play OK but is too noisy to the point I find myself not playing it at all. Strangely it seems to run Skyrim well both graphically and very quietly too. I would have a budget somewhere between £200 & £400.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply tonync_01 just one further question if you wouldn't mind?
My case is a Gigabyte Luxo M1000 will this be large enough to enable me to use the Windforce GTX 670 which has a full sized pcb board, if not what would be my best course of action?
 
It might pass muster. I can't find a data plate to confirm it actually has 30Amps +12V but I suspect it probably does. And you can use a Molex to PCI-e adapter for the 2nd PCI-e power connector.

-> NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 video card requires a 500 Watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 30 Amps on the +12V rail and two 6-pin PCI Express power connectors.
