I am looking to replace my GPU as mine is weak.

 

My rig:

Mobo: M5A78L-M/USB3

CPU: AMD FX-4100 Quadcore (Bulldozer)

RAM: 8GB

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 610 2GB

 

I'm thinking of a: GTX 610 (Maybe this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-GeForce-DirectCU-Express-DirectX/dp/B0098VKIQI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360548150&sr=8-1)

I'm getting SimCity 5 and I also play Fallout New Vegas and GTAIV.

Is this a suitable card and is it budget friendly? I really don't want to exceed £100! Also it doesn't have to be THAT particular card. 

On a side note: Will it run blurays?

they both have similiar features. both are 128bit bus. both have 1GB vram. the 650 has slightly faster memory clocks. they both a similiar clocked processors (give or take 20mhz). the 7770 will net you more fps on average over the 650. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/536?vs=681

it would handle them alot better than the 650 would tbh. the 7770 also sips power. it will cut a serious chunk out of your pc's max power draw the thing  is jsut amazing in that respect.
