Nvidia. any that are in your price range, just make sure its Nvidia. 700 series is pretty rad at the moment

wats your budget madhouse?

urghhh nvida sucks imo, i bought a GTX 670 OC 2gb, i've had a 485M too, endless trouble. ATI is where it's at. The new 200 series cards are great and cheaper.

 

But i would take everyone heres advice with a grain of salt, bias opinions! Check out toms hardware or something similar

 

EDIT: as far as value goes, can't go past a R9 270X, if you're within the 200-250 market, would be silly to get anything else, unless you find some super sweet sale

My price range is 200-300. I have always had Ati but that doesn't mean I wouldn't go for nvidia either.

stats yak, ati was always my fav but nvid just has the edge on them all the time

I'm running an ATI R9 270X Dual on a system similar to yours Madhouse. Runs all my games on Ultra(Arma 3, Watchdogs and BF4).

Ive had ATI 5870 and now a nvidia 770 4gb and they've both been great. 770 is great. Depends on how much your willing to fork out.

Sort of approaching this from the medium range gamer. I use a GTX560TI great card and affordable, runs most modern things at high / ultra. Back in the day I scooped it up for $250,

 

I would recommend the newer GTX660TI, it should be in a similar price bracket. Or if you want you can venture into the 700's

Im using MSI 7950 TF 3GD5/OC since early 2013, run almost every games in Ultra and some in High. R9 270X would be a great choice, cuz it performs similarly to 7950, maybe slight better?

yeah ive got the r9 270x and it ultras every game i have......I have a lot of games.

So... The inital problem was infact not my GPU but the MoBo has now died... So much win...

 

So I need a new mobo to fit in with the current system. Suggestions?

ASRock Z87M Extreme4 - ASRock seem to be the way to go these days, but im sure people will disagree What's your price range?

will agree with yak, but If you got the cash its always good to go ASUS. never had a problem with'em, pretty solid stuff

My major problem is my current processor is a socket 1155...

Oh... yeah no idea, sorry. Maybe buy a new cpu and motherboard to go with your new GPU
