GPU HELP! :(

[saltandpeppin]

Hi guys n' gals, i'm in need of some help/advice!

 

I'm looking to upgrade my pc, I had purchased a pre-built gaming pc (which was okay at the time) and is now extremely dated. I'm in need of new parts.

 

let me give you my specs before I go any further.

 

(not 100% sure on the brands of all parts)
2TB HDD (Seagate) 
16GB Ram (DDR3)
AMD Radeon 6670 GPU (2GB DDR3)
Windows 8 64bit
450W PSU (STOCK)
VIBOX Gaming Case
Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 Motherboard

AMD FX6300 6 CORE CPU (STOCK SPEEDS) 
 

I'm playing on a 60Hz BENQ 1920x1080p monitor. 

 

I would love to just replace my GPU since gaming is my main reason for buying a PC in the first place, however it turns out my pc GPU is so under powered that its getting its power straight from the PCI-E slot in the motherboard! my PSU doesn't even have a 6 or 8 pin connector to power a GPU!.

 

So basically I want a good powerful GPU that isn't crazy expensive and can give me a constant 60fps at 1080p. (and wont be bottlenecked by my FX6300) 

I obviously need a new good power PSU too, to power the card and the rest of my PC. 

 

Any help/suggestions would be Greatly appreciated!.

 

Thank you.

Look at getting an Asus 2GB 7770, it's a great card and I love the two I own

You never told us your budget, or where are you buying from.

 

But I guess something like this would fit, and be a good upgrade:

you may want to be more specific about the price. But 970 will ensure that most any game will run at ultra 60fps 1080p. But more down to earth (aligned with the rest of your build) may be the 270x or a 7870ghz (same card).

Plenty of help on the last post though, he could always quote our posts and ask questions...

Furthermore the 5 latest posts bar gets clogged up with re-posts and it's annoying!

I'm from the UK so pricing is a tough one ahah, I just dont want to get a top end GPU and PSU and end up getting 30fps since my FX6300 is bottlenecking it all
