Good Graphics Card For CyberPower PC

[Vinus]

I have a CyberPower GX 6109 PC. I would like to upgrade the graphics card and am looking at several options. (1) - What would be a good card with the existing PSU; (2) - If I upgraded to maybe a 700 watt PSU, what would then be a good choice? The system info is: i5 2320, 3.0 Ghz, 8 GB DDR3, expandable to 16 GB, 1 TB HDD, 1 GB Nvidia Geforce GT 520, 450 PSU, Windows 7 premium 64-bit. I've been reading up on cards, but realize that my knowledge on them is very limited and all the choices are confusing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh, my main interest is using it for novice single monitor gaming.

What is your budget?

With the current PSU, you could go with a 650Ti.
If you upgrade to a 700W, it would depend on your budget

$150 or less.

Very sorry for the multiple postings. I'm probably one of the last on dial-up and it's hard to tell if a question gets posted.

Nvidia GTX 550Ti or 650Ti, and you dont have upgrade your PSU
ATI 7790 or 7850 works too, but you'd have to upgrade your psu

I like what I read about the MSI GTX 650 Ti. I found it for $114.99 with free shipping and it has very good reviews. What do you think?

i agree, get the boost version from that link ^ the benchmark score is much higher, which is better performance out of it, and you wouldn't have to upgrade for a while

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check out the boost version.
