Subject: Recommend me a new graphics card!

I currently have a Radeon HD 5750 installed in my Desktop machine.

Based on my specs:
What is a good graphics card?

Processor: AMD Phenom II X2 Processor 3.10 GHz
RAM: 20.00 GB
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
---

My price range is $300 max, preferably lower. I don't know how good of a graphics card I can get for under $300, though.



Also, should I look into upgrading my processor?

$300 would definitely get you a decent card. Not sure if that processor would bottleneck it though.

Yeah I'm not sure either. I would like to stay away from $300 though, but I'd be willing if it was really a good card and was worth it.
I'm Aiming for $200 maybe a little more if need be.

But a $500 graphics card is better than a $300 graphics card.

Crysis 2 must be CPU heavy because I have a Gigabyte 660ti and an i5 2400 and I get about 60FPS on Crysis 2 on extreme-ultra...
