Graphics card recommendation?

[EdwardBurrows]

Looking for a middle order card either Nvidia or AMD as a gaming upgrade from my 1GB GTX460oc. Looking for something that can handle most games pretty well while running games like Titanfall and BF4 on high settings.

Current system:

Gigabyte PA67-UD3 (PCI-e 2.0 x16)
i5 2500k @3.3GHz
4GB Mushkin Silverline 1333MHz
600W Corsair PSU
1GB GDDR5 MSI GTX460oc Cyclone
1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3

This is a great upgrade for a i5 2500k @3.3GHz owner:

I would be looking at the GTX 970. Very good power for the price. Also doesnt use much power or make much heat.

Upgrade the memory to 8gb. For the GPU - selection is very dependent on the budget.

budget? also agree on getting at least 8GB of RAM for your system.

 

[Amar Tsogtoo]

Agree with everyone that suggested getting 8gbs of ram, I suggest you get GTX970 since it is pretty powerful and decent power efficiency.

Also take a look at the specs they just released for the 960, good gaming card and its only ~$200. It may be worth the wait for you. Im building an new rig right not and im running my integrated graphics until he 960 comes out.
