Hello,.

 

I will probably need to replace my G-card, an ASUS EAH6870 DC/2DI2S/1GD5 (PCI-E). Got a pretty decent gaming computer, and I'd like to get something on par with or a little better than my old card.

 

I need recommendations. Will probably go with ASUS again.

Thanks,

 

Daniel.

The budget and the output of the present PSU are limiting factors I'm afraid 

 

Two cards that would I would deem appropriate are the R9 290 and the GTX 970 but unfortunately a suitable R9 requires a more powerful PSU than you have and the GTX 970 exceeds your budget.

 

1: ASUS GTX 970. over budget but would not require a PSU upgrade, I would suggest saving the additional funds for this card.

 

2: MSI Radeon R9 290 GAMING requires a minimum 750W PSU with 42 amps on the +12V rail.
