What is the budget for the new GPU?

I would opt for http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125412

Im running it right now on 850 on the core, and im playing BF3 on high settings smoothly enough for my taste (which is most likely 30-40, im not sure but im not seeing any lag issues regarding graphics )

It is a tiny bit better than the 6850, and about on par with a 6870 (not sure if that falls in the price range)

edit:

Everyone posts to fast when looking for info xD But if you can get the money for a 6950, dont get that but get the new 7850

Thanks for the insightful response. I'll definitely be moving to a different card by end of august. My aim is the 6870. I might just save up 2 portions of my paycheck & extend out to the 6950. Both have pretty good reviews. I will note that the 430 myself has been fine on WoW. If your talking about 25m raiding, I will agree there. I get about 15 fps in zon'ozz dark phase with 25 people in there on med settings. The benchmarks on both are pretty close between the 6870 & 560. I think I'll go with 6870 for the lower price. The benchmarks seems to be fairly close so if I can save about 60$ doing so I think I can make it last for another 2-3 years.

The 6950 is not a good choice, 6870 on the other hand is a really good budget card. If you want to put more money on a GPU you should take a look at 7850/7870, Nvidia has no real competitor at that pricerange until GTX 660Ti and other medium performance cards in the 600 series are released.

The budget is approximately 125-200$. Thats what I usually have left over after bills are paid with each paycheck (every 2 weeks payday). So I can pull out almost 350$ if I need to but I don't feel comfortable pulling out that much unless I have some hard test results.

Yeah it does fall exactly into the same price range.

I would opt for either the 460 or 6870. And if you really want to stretch it the 7850.

the gtx 660ti and 7850/7870 will be around the same $300 mark

Thanks for all the responses guys, I'm gonna need to head to bed though. If I have any more questions I'll definitely be asking them. Probably more so about the video card or if I forgot something about the installation of the computer.
