Well I am deeply embarrassed with my first choice of my graphics card, I tried to get my computer as cheap as possible.
I'm not sure if these are needed, but I will include them anyways.
CPU: AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor
Video Card: GeForce GT 610 (Yes I know, I was a cheap bastard)
My budget is reasonable, $315.
I am looking for a graphics card that is able to play, Garry's Mod, Skyrim, Crysis (Pref, med), Arma II, Counter Strike: GO, Killing Floor, BF3, Borderlands 2, LoL, Dota2, and many of the summer sales games.
Most of these games I would like to be able to play on High/Ultra graphics (except for Crysis for the obvious reasons).
Thank you for your time!

Need to know what other components are in your system, namely the make and model of power supply. Also if you know your case, it would help us if we know the card we suggest would fit.

Alright.
Power supply: 500 Watt - AC 120/230 V ( 50/60 Hz)
Not sure of the model.
And the case is just a generic case, if you need to know the dimensions of it let me know.

If you went for a no-name brand when you went for the build in an effort to keep costs down, i'd say buy a decent one now to stay safe. As you wouldn't want a nice expensive card getting roasted.
Including a power supply you could get a GTX760 which is a replacement to the GTX660Ti which is a mid to high end card. Or if you wanted to push it a bit more you could bag yourself a HD7970 but you may have to fork out over budget for the PSU.

Would you have any recommendations for which power supply I should get? Also the HD7970 is a bit out of my price range if I were to get the power supply. The GTX760 seems to be pretty decent and fairly priced. What are your thoughts on the amd radeon 7950? As the other guy has posted.

That PSU has a hella discount on it so i'd say overkill it and get that. As for the GPU the 7950 should either match or beat the 760 on stock and AMD cards tend to overclock very well so i wouldn't be surprised if you could get 7970 like performance out of one. I believe PowerColor also do a 7950 with a VaporX cooler which apparently is really nice. Or skimp on the cooler and buy an aftermarket one to fit yourself.

Thank you for finding this and helping me out. I am getting these, not a bad price also.
Thanks!

Make sure it'll fit though, would be a shame for it to be too long. Size should be on the sellers page.
