AnandTech has recently put together a great guide for all of those who intend to upgrade their GPU instead of diving in the next-gen console madness that we are experiencing. Without further ado, here are some of the units they recommend:

Budget - EVGA 256-P2-N443-LX GeForce 7300GT - $75
Midrange Overclocking - EVGA 256-P2-N624-AR GeForce 7900GS
$20 MIR - $185 - $20
High-End - Sapphire 100177L Radeon X1950 XTX - $386

And if you’re really crazy…

Ultra Extreme - 2 X EVGA 768-P2-N831-AR GeForce 8800GTX (SLI) - $1206

Unfortunately, I won’t be upgrading my aging computer any further, because it is now almost impossible to find replacement components for it, however, if I were to choose one of the cards, it would probably be the GeForce 7900GS.

Happy shopping!
