This may take you to the end of your budget but worth its performence. I've popped in a better cpu along with a better performing gpu which is the gtx560ti which should cope with some good levels of med-high setting, so long as some over demanding settings are turned off for some games but shouldnt affect you while you game and in return, get better fps
