Need help.

[Elocin]

I have an older 8800 Gt that I want to upgrade. My machine is mainly a gaming rig and eventually I will need to run BF 3, Diablo 3 and SWtoR when it comes out. I would like to upgrade my video card to something a bit more modern for a price somewhere between $100 and $200 dollars.

Any help would be appreciated.

Computer specs are as follows (for what I can remember)

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition
Corsair 750W PS
4 gigs of memory

Thank you very much in advance and if you have any more questions let me know.

I would just pick yourself up an ATI 6870 for 170$ (you can get the Sapphire 6870 for 155$ after rebate)

what resolution do you play at?

I agree with H-street. The first thing to come to mind was a 6870. A gtx470 isn't a bad upgrade either and used ones can now be found for around $150. The downside to the 470 is the power draw,and the heat and noise it can generate.

I knew I was going to forget something.

Currently game on a 22" Acer Screen at 1680X1050 I believe.

Thanks for the replies so far.

at that resolution, anything 560/6850 would be just fine.
