Vid card upgrade suggestions

What would a beefy upgrade for my SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100269VXLE Radeon HD 4890 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0? Preferably DX11 compatible.

P.S. I got 4 gigs of ram at the moment. Would there be any reason to get more?

4gb is still fine. Budget for the gpu?MonsieurX

I'm not too worried aout the price at the moment.

Do tell.

@op.

Base on experience the quality of ram doesnt matter as much as how much you have. I have old ballistix that was fast for its time, but 2gb wasnt cutting it for tf2 back then with each update, so I shoved 2gb of costco bought kingston ram!! Made the difference for me.
