Anything from the GTX 650 Ti Boost to GTX 680, but I don't know your budget. If you want to spend like a maniac and go for the Titan or 690, good for you, but I think it's crazy.

For me personally, I think the GTX 670 is very good value for money and it will give you a lot of performance, just a bit weaker than the 680.

Cyberdot

All those models are a little out of my price range, I was looking around the £100-150 and a little extra if I need to upgrade the PSU.

It was a home built model, will this require me to open up the PC?

Im not sure on either of those sorry. Like I said I am a complete novice when it comes to the mechanics of a PC. How do I go about checking these? Ill hunt out the literature it came with and see if it tells me there.

Thanks for the advice, do you have any links you could provide for your recommendations? As I said I am very new to upgrading so pretty dumb when it comes to anything to do with it.

Hey. I am a fairly big PC gamer but my knowledge of hardware upgrades and the multitude of options out there is pretty much zero. I am currently running an Nvidia GT 9500 1gb model, its just under three years old now. Until recently I was very happy with its performance as the bench mark I was running it too was SC II and HotS, which the card runs quite well but not to the games full potential. However I have just bought Simcity and the graphical performance on my current card is quite frankly awful.

With games such as Rome Total War 2 and Company of Heroes 2 just around the corner I would really like to upgrade my card to something that will handle newer games a lot better. My PC is running:

Windows 7 64 bit, 4gb of ram and a Pentium Dual Core CPU E5400 both which clock 2.7 ghz.

So what card would you recommend I get? If you need anymore info on my rig please let me know. Thanks.

Ok so I am not the most experienced when it comes to PC gaming. I have Wings of Liberty which runs very well on my PC and naturally I want to get Heart of the Swarm. Has there been any dramatic changes to the system requirements between Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm?

Here are my system specs:

Intel Dual CORE E5400 x2 both clock around 2.7ghz, 4GB RAM, Windows 7 Premium 64bit , Nvidia 95GT 1gb

Sorry if I am being dumb.
