Thread Starter 
i've been thinking of getting a new card. i'd like to stick with nvidia. money won't be an issue because i'll probably get it a few weeks from now along with other new things for my computer, just 2 ssds and maybe a new monitor, but i'd like to keep the same power supply. this is the one i have now. what's the best card i can get without making my psu spark and die like my old one did? case size isn't an issue since i have the case labs m8, the rest of my specs are obviously below tongue.gif. i don't overclock anything if that matters and i'll be putting in a few case fans too..

How many displays?
If not 3 or more, I wouldn't bother. You'll spend a ton of cash to get what, 5 FPS more on average.
There isn't anything on the market that could fully use a GPU like 680 yet, so paying the extra for it being new and shiny isn't justified in my book wink.gif

Well since no one has said it yet:

Yamakasi Catleap. 1440p monitor. It's about $350+. IPS. Great reviews on this website.You'll probably need a GTX 680.

If you're not planning on getting a new monitor, then no, there's nothing you can upgrade to that would yield better results. wink.gif
