ok i have a GTX 550 Ti with my FX 4100, i want an upgrade and i was wondering whats ht ebest gpu to get with my FX 4100 without bottlenecking.
I wouldn't go anything above a 7870 or gtx 660 to avoid bottlenecks, there's an evga 650ti 1gb ssc on newegg.com right now on sale for 140 and w/ rebate it's 120. for the price usually i'd go with a 7850 core edition or something, but at that price point it beats the 7770 hands down and it's pre overclocked. Giving you 3-4 more fps on average in modern games. The 650ti is a good performance difference from the old 550ti. Go and get yourself a good cpu cooler and o/c that 4100. at us.ncix.com there's a antec kuhler h20 620 on sale for 44 bucks. that's a steal, those things are usually 65 and cool just as good as high end air coolers.

what about the 660? should i go for it?
get the 7870 over the gtx 660 it gets better performance and amd's latest drivers really gave some games a major boost :)
7870 it is!
