Looking for an upgrade Graphics Card

[Will_]

Hi
I currently have an AMD Radeon 8750d GPU but with all of the new games such as Watchdogs and GTA V I am looking to upgrade. Im looking to play the new games on fairly high graphic settings. Which GPU would you recommend? £250 is probably the maximum im looking to pay.

This 7970 GHz Edition would be an excellent choice for those games you want to play

Seems like you have the A8-6600K, It'd be recommended if you got an aftermarket cooler and overclocked it a bit to squeeze more performance out of your system

Thanks for your reply. I have a Cit Vantage case which has 4 x 120mm fans (I think). Is there any specific cooler youd recommend? Thanks again.

That case seems to be 25cm or so in width so most of these coolers should fit. Most people on the forum like to recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, though I've also read some good things about these coolers

Thanks these coolers look fine. Also would the card need a 6 pin PCI express connector?

 

[rolandzhang3]

A 7970 would require an 8 pin and a 6 pin, so a PSU with two 6+2 PCI-E connectors would be ideal

What PSU would you reccomme d? I am not looking to spend more than £250 on the card, PSU & cooler if needed. Thanks again.

7750,7770 or 7790 are cards with tdp under 100w. you would be amazed by these cards, now choose what it suits you. 7750 is the most powerful gpu on the marked that doesn't require a power connector

 

[rolandzhang3]

Either of these should be fine

Thanks for both your replies. I think I will probably go for the 7750 as it wont require extra parts to work. I may change my mind, It all depends on how much I get for christmas. Thanks do much.
