Upgrading my HD6670 for under 200$

[elpaco]

Hi!
I built my pc about one year ago, with all new parts except my GPU and power supply, which I transferred from my old PC. My PSU is fine since I went for quality, but my GPU is definitely lacking compared to the rest of my system (at least I think). Here are the specs:

CPU: Intel i5-3570
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115233)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-HD3
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128582)
RAM: Kingston 2x4Go 1600MHz DDR3
PSU: Corsair CX-430
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026)

And the GPU is the XFX Radeon HD6670 (ZHF3)
(http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150542)
I.e. 1GB; 128-Bit DDR3; PCI Express 2.1 x16

Now, I am not a hardcore gamer, I don't care if the graphical settings are not maxed all the time, and I don't care if I'm "only" at 30 fps. The most gpu intensive games I play would be BF4 and Far Cry 3, but otherwise its mostly mobas like Smite, LoL, and games like Diablo 3 and Borderlands 2.

Also, as you can tell by the 3570 instead of the 3570K, I am not an overclocking enthusiast.

Since my budget is under 200$, do you have any recommendations as to the best GPU replacement for my PC?

Thanks very much!

I got a 7970 on Ebay for 182.50.. But ive only had it for 5 days, and I have one blue screen.. But it seems to be unrelated.

oh nevermind your power supply isnt strong enough.

 

[esco_sid]

Nevermind as well haha your only option is gtx 750Ti due to your power supply

 

[imadirtybirdy]

You could consider the r7 250, Im not sure the power demand on that.

Nevermind again, I really think PERSONALLY... You're only going to get a worthwhile upgrade if you go 3 tiers above, and all the video cards 3 tiers above.. You're going to need at least a 550watt Power supply. Id go with a 700watt personally.

I am definitely open to the idea of upgrading my power supply as well for either a 600W or 700W. In this case what would be a suitable choice of gpu. I like the gtx 750Ti, but disregarding the power consumption, would it be my best bet? I agree that I would want the upgrade to be worth it. I am also open to the idea of waiting before suitable gpus drop below the 200$ treshold.

As for my monitor, I have a Samsung Syncmaster P2350, a 23" running a resolution of 1920x1080, with a second smaller Acer monitor with a res of 1280x1024.
