I was looking to upgrade my graphics card so i can play alot of the new games on max graphics. I have a GIGABYTE Radeon HD 7870 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 right now and its works great but I'm always looking for upgrades. I'm not in a big rush but I'd say the highest I'm will probably go is $400 for now. I've also heard that if my processor is too "weak" it will affect the graphics card so ill post my specs below.
