I have 2 questions (GPU upgrade and cooling)

[TonyTheBean]

Hi, first time poster.
So i plan on upgrading my computer soon and i think its time for an upgrade on the stock fans and heatsink. My specs:

GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 6850
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 945 (stock clock settings)
Motherboard: ASUS M4A88T-M/USB
Case: LIAN LI Lancool PC-K58W

I was thinking about getting this for overclocking but i decided it wouldnt fit in my case. I would rather not have myself decided on this because i know nothing about cooling becides i shouldnt block the vents

Now, on to my second question.
My current graphics card just isnt doing it for me because it cant seem to handle any AA above x4/x2. So i was thinking about getting a MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II/OC GeForce GTX 560 Ti and i heard from some of the reviews that the cooling was pretty good. Any suggestions? Just an fiy, I have a budget of 250 for the card.

Welcome to the forum....

Neweggs being *****y, so i cant see the stuff, but I cant see the 560 being overly hot... Mine maxes at 82, but thats folding.

Well, this one has dual fans. Also, apparently i mixed up the cards and this one has good reviews about cooling.

This card is cheaper than the MSI and it has a Lifetime Warranty, the MSI only has a 3 year (parts) 2 year (labor) Warranty.
