Upgrade question

[Dr Woomanchu]

I've had same rig for 3 or so years now. Have recently biffed a half gig SSD In and upgraded ram to 16 G. Rest of system is same

1055T x6
AMD HD6900

I've been out of the loop for a while, so instead of wading through screeds of contradictory Internet shit would anyone care to share what the vid card upgrade path is from where I am at.

Not interested in bleeding edge, just a bang for buck improvement

Cheers

More Giggapixies: $20
Racing Stripes: $15 (cause racing stripes make it go faster)
Flames: $30 (as above)

You are welcome

Thanks for that. I'd seen that one. Good to know it's good value.

Now I just gotta get round to measuring the case to make sure I have room
