For that price range, your best bet IMO is the GTX 560 Ti OC.
May be worthwhile then knowing what power supply you have. As if it's one of those cheaper computers you bought pre built, there maybe a chance it's power supply is minimum and not ready to rock out a new graphics card.
Friendship is like peeing on yourself, everyone can see it, but only you get to feel the warmth it brings.

without upgrading your psu, no current gaming GPU would work.
Intel i5-2500k@4.4ghz
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3
Gigabyte N560OC 1gb gpu
Corsair 2x4gb
Antec v2 Two Hundred
Razer Blackwidow Ultimate
Razer Naga
Okay thanks for that help now that we are on PSU can you recommend a good one for a decent price
I'd recommend a Radeon HD 6870 with a 500+ watt PSU. You'll be able to get that for around $250 if you order it through newegg.com.
im guessing you are using microcenter since you are in the detroit area? http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0361422

are all good choices, or just go in and talk to the sales people in the part section, they are suprisingly knowledgable for the most part.
a gtx 560 or 560ti + PSU will be a good upgrade and in your price range at the in-store microcenter price range.

Id go for GTX 560ti as others have mentioned too.
You'll definitely need a PSU. You can get a decent one for $60 or so that will be good enough for a GTX 560TI as others have said.
