Good card for an AMD Athlon 64 X2 7850 Black Edition?

[TheyreAllDeadDave]

Hi,
I was wondering which would be the most appropriate matching card for this CPU. From what I can gather, as it's overclocked from 2.8Ghz to 3.2Ghz, it's about on par with a C2D E8400 or slightly better. I was looking at an MSI GeForce 750 Ti 2Gb, but was wondering if this CPU might bottleneck it.

Suggestions please!

You'd be fine with the MSI GTX 750Ti http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I6DLIE0. It's actually a great choice to be paired with your setup.

Do you have a budget for the card?

I'd prefer to keep it under £100. Anymore than that with this dated CPU would be a bit self-defeating.

Might look at the 260X or prob a 650 maybe, not sure where you shop

I like the 750Ti's super low power consumption compared to it's performance.

If you get that Kuma to 3.2GHz+ and bump the IMC/NB, you could easily handle a 260X if not a 270X ... the former is right at £100 with the latter a bit shy of £140.

What motherboard do you have? In CPU intensive games you could likely use a little core-unlocking.
