Im thinking of buying a new graphics card soon.

Which would you think would be a good one for this desktop and future desktop that im planning to build. The future build will be maybe 3790k cpu.

This desktop hasn't got the best specs.

I would like to buy a card for gaming at highest settings.

I have about £200 at the moment .... thats about $309

I am saving.

Im aware of the fact that it depends on the game too. Each requires different needs to play at high settings.

But which maybe would be a top end card to get?

Hi,
I doubt your cpu means much although good one,
But your psu is more the minimum requirement on most cards.

Or you could join the darkside and wait for the new Radeon card.

But that also depends on your monitor, I bought a monitor with the G-Sync and now I'm stuck indefinitely with the Nvidia family.
