Help me decide on a new graphics card.

[SASQUATCH300]

I'm a novice to computer hardware in general. I'm currently running a Nivida GeForce 520. I was looking to upgrade for under $200. I'd like to get the most for my money.

My processor is a AMD FX 6100 6 core 3.3 GHz. On a Windows 7 64 bit, Directx 11, 10240MB of RAM.

I'm not sure if I have to stay with a GeForce. Any wisdom would be most appreciated.

I play some games, such as the newest Assassins Creed and Call of Duty, I do a little video editing and Photo Shop. Looking to connect multiple monitors if my $200 budget allows.

I'm looking at these cards.

Get the 7850. I find that I have a better experience on AMD platform if I use a Radeon Graphics Card.

You don't have to stay with Nvidia, you only have to remove the driver before installing a different brand. Most for your money would be r9 270. It's about $150 and better/newer than the two you listed.

Will this work with a 262W PSU? Should I get a new PSU? Also this might be a nood request but could I have a link?

I wouldnt cheapout too much on a PSU. It can fry your system or make it unstable.

This will do the job and isn't too expensive.

I was just looking at that one. Would the CX500M be better?
