You have two options...
Either get a gtx 760 @ 250$ It currently is the sweet spot in the entire lineup and provides the best bang for the buck

Or spend a bit more and get a hd 7970 which is around 10% faster on average..

So if I order the new card I would be able to install it myself? I mean it will fit into the case and works?
And thank you for replying by the way.

The case is pretty small....I doubt whether any of those mentioned cards would fit in it....And even if it fits there wont be sufficient airflow to cool this power hungry cards....

 

[archgop]

I think this is harder to upgrade now since its a compact case.maybe I'll just go to my nearest computer store and let them upgrade it for me

Thanks for your help!
