i dont really care if the card is Nvidia or AMD, currentoly my system runs with:

8gigs of RAM
quakd core 3.0GHz I5 processor
GTX550TI - 1gb
and a 300MW power supply

i would like if the card could fit a 300MW power supply, but all reccomendations are welcome.

More details would be nice. OEM computer or something you built yourself and how many harddrives?

I would start thinking about upgrading that power supply unit fast though.

I would look into getting a new PSU first, Corsair CX 600M is a good one for a decent point. As for a graphics card, it is trickier because of you being limited to $300.

But if you tell me where you live, it is easier for me to find a good deal for you.

GTX650 gives too small of improvement.

Maybe AMD HD7770 or GTX660. But then your power supply becomes the main deciding factor and I do not know off hand if it will work.

Personally I've been using a HD6790 for some time now with no issues on any current game, much less EVE. That said, I'd probably look at upgrading that power supply pretty soon. As others have said, I think it will become a point of concern before too long.

Just keep in mind that the performance difference between a 7770 and 560ti is really negligible, compared to a 660ti.
