I'm looking to upgrade my GPU, but there are so many out there that it's just confusing trying to pick one. My current GPU is the Nvidia GeForce 7300SE/7200GS and as you already know it is very limited in what it will handle but it was part of a budget build PC that cost $75 for the whole build. The case is a mid tower so I have some space but it can't be huge. I'm not a hard core gamer but I like it to work when I do play. Far Cry 2 runs fine on what I have now but games like The Saboteur and I Am Alive don't stand a chance. I am also a Freelance Photographer so it must be friendly with Photoshop CS5 Extended.
Here are some specs to consider-
PSU- OCZ 520ADJSLI http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-powerstream-power-supply-nvidia-sli-ready-eol.html
Summary-
MSI MS-7350 Intel Core 2 CPU 6400 @2.13 GHz
My good monitor died so I had to pick up a cheapie to get me by. In doing so I lost my DVI connector, so it's just D-sub for now.
Supported resolution-
1024 x 768
1366 x 768 16:9
1360 x 768
1280 x 720 16:9
640 x 400 16:10
I am not opposed to a good used GPU and in fact it's probably more in my budget. I would like to not exceed about $100 but I know this may not be realistic, so just throw your suggestions out there.
Thanx in advance!
