So yeah, lately I been buying a lot of games from Steam on the cheap 
, but most of them I can only play at 720p to get around 40fps. Only the low end 2D games I can play 60fps at 1080p.
In any case, my current GPU is a GT620. My budget is roughly RM600, and I would like something that should last me a few years (3 years at least). What I mean is, it should be able to play 1080p games at 60fps, at the lowest graphics settings. I don't play action-FPS games and generally those demanding ones. Mine are more "experience" games, or those like Dishonored, Deus Ex HR and Xcom. And lots of 2D platformers.
My current specs:
3GHz 3rd Gen Core i5
8GB RAM
21'' Samsung Syncmaster monitor
Cheers,
I appreciate your help! Never bought a GPU before for gaming purposes, but I figured since I already have a capable enough PC, and the fact games on Steam go on the cheap so often, I rather just get a better GPU than spend on a console.
PS: I have been looking at the GTX 650 and 660 cards. Would appreciate if you can talk about the different types of those GPUs there are, like clock speed, VRAM etc.
The GTX 650ti boost should fit the bill. Its bandwidth is all the same with the gtx 660 , have the same memory. Its only downside is that it has a bit less shader and cuda core. The latter is not that important if you're not doing any rendering stuff., but most of them I can only play at 720p to get around 40fps.

At 1080P is better to have a 2GB card , suggestion for model. Leadtek gtx 650ti 2GB or Gigabyte gtx 650ti 2GB both are priced rm599(taken from viewnet) though you can find a better deal if you search through the garage sales section.
