    Hay im having some trouble choosing a new card at the moment i have geforce gtx 670 and im looking for a good upgrade up to from 400-550 price range. Im not very tech savy and i play most everything at 1080p no to bothered with 4k res. But im just a bit baffled at all these cards on the market i have an asus mother board so i was assuming an asus branded one would be the best way to go. But any recommendations for price and performance ? thanks.

    Thats a fairly hefty budget you have there,if you plan on staying at 1080p i dont think you need to spend all of it. You thinking of upgrading the monitor at all? Is your current monitor 60Hz?

    If it is 60Hz and you dont intend to upgrade a Nvidia GTX 970 or and AMD R9 390 would both be decent options. Personally id be leaning toward a 390 at this point,has a few extra GB's of vram that are coming in useful now,even at 1080p. It does use a little bit more power though.

    What power supply do you have? Comsidering your current card you should be ok on this front but just wanna check in case

    Corsair?

    I'd go the 390 as Eoin said. You could go as high as a 980 but I don't think it's worth it.
