I was thinking about 500. Is that to low?

Too low, maybe just a low-mid end GPU that can barely handle triple A titles at low-mid settings at playable frame rate.

You will need to change the PSU as well if you are getting a better card.

Do you have any suggestion best bang for the buck.

The best deal could be PowerColor R9 270 now, RM 498 from Techview but you will need a better PSU for that.

Thank you. I will go for this and as per your reply to others, I will upgrade the PSU to FSP Hexa+ 550W. I assume my motherboard will able to support this since the mobo already 3-4 years if not mistaken
