I need to buy a new graphics card for my pc, it's about 3 years old and can't run anything anymore. I just want a decent inexpensive card that I can use to run DayZ with good FPS and not low settings. What card would you suggest? right now I have the AMD Radeon HD 6450 and it sucks. Thanks.
+ Is it worth it to just rebuild a whole new computer? The one I have at the moment isn't all too great. Thanks.

How much do you want to spend? What are your current specs? The 7770 is the best card at its price point.

r00t wrote No, the specs of your PC including the power supply you have.
I'd suggest the 7790 and if you want something better, the R9 270. Currently, there's no good AMD or Nvidia options between these in price.

For some of my specs of my PC, I copied my Display tab under my DxDiag
I've got an AMD A6-3670 APU processor
Here's my power supply. I just decided to show you it instead of getting the wrong information [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Here are some specs. Tell me if you need any more info, do you think it's worth it to get a whole new computer?
