Greetings,
I currently have this setup on my pc.
- Windows 8 64 bit
- Intel quad core i5 @3.0 Ghz
- 8gb of ram
- R7770 1gb

My graphics are pretty good with most games, however I want it faster! I assume the graphics card will help, but what do I upgrade to that so it doesn't leave a huge hole in my wallet and something with a noticeable difference?

Thanks!

What do you think about scrapping your current and building a new one? I agree though, that 960 will help significantly.

Seems like you have a new motherboard since you have haswell so this gpu will be good http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-Product it is only $204.99 and it should run any game without problems on low to high settings not ultra.

They produce a lot of heat but are sometimes cheaper and optimized for certain games.

Whats your budget for a graphics card, your power supply wattage, and your motherboard? Whats your rams speed? Whats the speed of your hard drive? (Rpm 5400 7200 10000?)

1: we need more information about the hardware specs of your computer
type/speed/size of your hard drive? (size doesn't matter as much as the other 2)
8gb of ram, what configuration? 2x4gbs/1x8gb? what speed is the ram running at?

2: when you say faster, are we assuming just higher FPS? at some point most people get tired of the load screens themselves and want that sped up (which is quite easy to do) furthermore, are you wanting to upgrade 1 component and have it make a big difference? or are you willing to opt for multiple upgrades?

TLDR;
there's little to no information, so little to nothing can be suggested
