Recommend me a graphics card

I would like to run games at 1920 x 1080 at high settings. My monitor is 23" and supports those settings, but my graphics card is terrible. And I'm forced to play games at lowest resolution with lowest settings just to play games from 4 years ago. I'm really starting to get annoyed, since I can't play any current games at all.

I can manage to play WoW at 1920 x 1080 but with max low graphics and I get a steady 25fps. But with other games, I have to play them at like 600x800 with max lowest just to get 15fps. I would like to run WoW at max and get like 30+fps. I would also like to run Diablo at max with 1920 x 1080 or other games like DayZ, or be able to buy current games and play them at atleast medium or high with that resolution.

Pretty sure it's my graphics card that's causing the problem, but I don't know much about computers and how to build them. But here is my spec's.

Windows Vista 64bit

AMD Athlon 7750 Dual-Core Processor (2 CPUs), ~2.7GHz

5886MB RAM

DirectX 11

ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics

I would like to spend under $200 if that is possible for what I am asking for. But can anyone recommend me what kind of card I should get? (If the video card is even the problem)

the other question would be is your psu good enough

I would recommend a GTX 670 because it has very good value for your money. It's a very powerful card, and it runs cool and quiet, and also doesn't use much electricity. If you want to spend more money, go ahead and get either a 680 or 690. But the 690 costs almost £1,000! I would steer well clear from it until the price go down.

I'm a GTX 670 owner and I can play Crysis at 1360x768 with everything maxed out and it runs at 35fps to 60fps depending on situations. Very happy with it. I know my resolution is low as I'm using my Sony Bravia HDTV. I think I'm getting a good 27" monitor at Christmas, and it will be all good.

*Edit* Oh, and you should upgrade your CPU. It could be a bottleneck.

I think your CPU is gonna hold u back. My son plays a lot of Arma/DayZ and he has a Athlon x2 4450e , combined with a gtx460, and those games run, but not on max settings.i told him I'm just going to get him a FM1 mobo $70 , and a Athlonx4, which is only $70 also. Then maybe another gtx460 for SLI. But yeah,I think u need to check and see if the mobo is able to be upgraded. If so, problem solved. You'll probably still need to upgrade your gc .godzillavskong

7770 good card in your Budget

Get a Radeon HD 7850.

The HD 7850 is a great card that comes in around your budget. It can overclock like crazy and doesn't lose as much performance as some cards when using high levels of anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. With a good overclock its performance gets very close to the level of a GTX 580, last year's flagship card. For a higher range budget build I don't think there is a better card out there right now than the HD 7850.

At more of the higher end I would go for a GTX 670. Performance close to a GTX 680 for $100 less....what else can you ask for? It should also be mentioned, though, that the HD 7950 is a very underrated and powerful card in its own right. It overclocks extremely well and with the newest drivers it has exceptional performance...not too much behind a GTX 670.

Well, AMD has plans to update it's 7950 with "Ghz Edition".
