I would recommend upgrading your GPU for an improved gaming experience. Since you already have an NVIDIA card, it will be MUCH easier to upgrade to a better NVIDIA card instead of upgrading to a Radeon card. I recommend the [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] since it is a fantastic card and is in your price range.

I've only got into upgrading my PC this year so could you explain to me why it's easier. Thanks.

You already have an NVIDIA card and radeon cards are made by AMD so your PC will be 'used' to having an NVIDIA card and you will already have all the drivers needed etc for an NVIDIA card, it's less hassle on your part. Also, the 650 Ti that I linked you is a cheaper GPU than the Radeon 7850. Although, in all fairness the 7850 is a better GPU and is more future proof. There is a better version of the 650 Ti though, the NVIDIA 660 which is the same price as the 7850 and beats the 7850 on all counts, here is a link;

That is your best option for your price, it will perform the best out of the 3 previously mentioned cards.
