so recommendations on a reasonably priced GPU? im back on this 5750 cause cause other card went out. im layed off at the moment only getting unemployment. i can only play anything on super low settings and im bout to die and only been running like this for 3 hours. have no idea what happend to cause it to die it was fine this morning, i went and took a nap this afternoon got up and it was dead. it almost looks like a mouse got in my case some how and possibly pissed on it i have no idea. so anyone got something a lil stronger laying around or could recommend anything im really only playing overwatch atm. recommended specs for gpu for the game is NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660 or AMD Radeon™ HD 7950 or better
 
What is your budget

200 is plenty, might be able to snag a 870

If you'd be willing to wait a few weeks I could hook you up with an 970 for 200.

Try the "oven trick" My GTX 465's went out several times. I almost became a master chef because of it. I made once baked cards, then twice baked... up to five times. I did the over trick on them 5 times and they came back great every time. Since your card is no bueno, try cleaning it off and doing the oven trick
 
Why do i feel like this is the same shit as charging your phone in the microwave

I was just about to suggest that as well. It'll be the smartest call for a budget.
A few other options would require willingness to use craigslist. You could snag a 970 or 980 for under 300 and around the $200 range.

But, I think the 480 is a much more wise decision, as it should out preform the 970, and will have more VRAM. Keep in mind, if you want 8GBs of VRAM it's only $50 more (supposedly) and I certainly suggest making that call. VRAM is becoming even more relevant now with higher resolutions and VR. Even if you don't use any of that yet, you can still reap the benefits of a high VRAM card on even a 1080P monitor. A lot of games have 4k texture options, and they look fantastic even in 1080p. I can absolutely recommend this.

EDIT: Careful with the oven trick. It can produce dangerous chemicals left over in your oven. You can bake em' out if you live on the dangerous side, or just use a shitty oven that you can throw away afterwards.
