Double the stock VRAM doesn't do anything for performance in most cases except for 1 -> 2 GB at the mid-range (7850~). My specific suggestions would be either the 270X or 280X. 270X: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/powerco...70x2gbd5tdheoc 280X: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-vid...r9280xgaming3g Based on your other listed specs a 550W would be all you really need out of your PSU at max. |

If you have a CrossFireX enabled motherboard then two cheaper cards might be a better value than one expensive card. I currently use two HD7770 cards running in CrossFireX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121642 though you might want to look around as there is probably a better value card for $100 to $150 each. You could also try two nvidia paired cards with SLI. Of course you will need a good power supply. I am using the Ultra LSP750 Power supply.
