So im upgrading from Nvidia geforce 315 what has 512mb of ram because i hjave 2 monitors and the graphics card keeps crashing because it's overheating.

And i need some suggestions on what i should upgrade to.

My price range goes up to about £130
I personally want to stick with a NViDIA graphics card because i know it will work with my pc, and also i need something that will run 2 monitors with high end games working on it. (i know my computer will run them)
Also i need atleast 1 VGA port and a HDMI port.

If you need any more information about my computer then just please ask :)

Thank you!
 
Solution
a 560ti would be a reasonable card, spend the rest of the money getting 8GB of ram and change your windows to a 64bit version, you should be able to use the same key if you have a 32bit version currently installed


I'v got in my pc:

Processor: Intel core i5 650 @ 3.20GHz
Motherboard: Acer Aspire M3910
Memory: DDR3 3GBs (2gb stick and 1 GB stick)
GFX Card: NVIDIA GeForce 315

Is there anything else you need to know? I didn't really know what to post.


Thanks for the suggestion for the GTX 650 but it doesn't have a VGA (D-sub) port within the GFX card, which is what i need because one of my screens only has a VGA port
 


I was planning to get more RAM and also i already have 64bit Windows 7, But i looked up the 560ti and it doesn't have a VGA port, do no newer graphics cards have them?

Maybe im being stupid but this is the port that my 2nd monitor has: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/81/Vga-cable.jpg/220px-Vga-cable.jpg
 


the card will have a DVI-I port which you can use a DVI to VGA adapter on, they usually will come with one in the box.
 


Thank you Very much for helping! Will defiantly be using this community for help again!

Thanks again! :)
