GTX 460, GTX 470, GTX 480, GTX 560 Ti, GTX 570, GTX 580, HD 6850/6870, HD 6950/6970

Any of those should be good, pick a few that fit your budget and then google some reviews and comparisons for those cards. (the ones I listed are the ones that I can come up with right now, but there are probably other decent cards out there as well)

 

Do note that with a more powerful graphics card, you'll need a more powerful power supply. Find out what your current power supply is, what its wattage is.

You definitely do not need a 850W power supply. I think a 550W might be enough, maybe 600 to have some headroom. Of course you can go with an 850W to have some upgradeability in the future though.

And please, don't just buy the one that's cheapest, the power supply isn't something you want to skimp on.

Yeah, don't get a too powerful Graphics card, the rest of your system will bottleneck it. An 6850 or 6870 with an 550 Watt PSU will do you fine.

I would suggest a PSU Watt range between 600W-650W for future upgrades.

 

 

Good point, a 650 bronze rated one, or a 700 watt 80 + or bronze/silver/gold etc.
