Hey Everyone

 

I think it's about time I upgrade my graphics card since I believe my build is somewhat limited by the GPU. At the moment, I have an ASUS GTX-750Ti which does the job alright but I feel like there's still room for improvement. I'll list the specs of my PC below so feel free to give me any ideas for a better GPU. My price range is no more than $350 (unless it's like $10 over which is fine) but keeping it around or below that is best.

 

CPU: AMD FX-8350

GPU: ASUS GTX-750Ti

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G46

RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR6 1600GHz (4x 4GB)

Case: Corsair Carbide Series 300R

Storage: 2TB Western Digital SATA + 256GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD

PSU: Corsair CX750

Displays: 2x Samsung SD360 HD 1920x1080

Cooling: Corsair Hydro H80i

Mouse: Razer Mamba

Keyboard: Corsair K60

Sound: Sound Blaster Audigy RX

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

 

I typically play games like Assetto Corsa and Euro Truck (with my Logitech G27) and my frames range from about 30 to 120. 

 

Let me know what you think would make a good upgrade, Thanks!

I'd try picking up a GTX 970 or an R9 290.
