you bought all that stuff so it seems you have pretty good basic hardware knowledge. so are you not familiar with the 750 ti? they make some really small versions of those.

Welcome to the forum

Looking at your rig barring the cpu typo I'm guessing your looking for something more powerful than the 750 Ti would be. No mention of budget.

What power supply did you get?

They do make ITX versions of some cards.

MSI has a really small version of the GTX 760 2GB. I don't have experience with it, but it seems well reviewed and should be pretty capable.

I would also go for a 760 GTX. Good price and you will run smooth any game on the market atm.

Some ITX versions of the 285 are out or coming I think.

meh. I just buy the best price/perf at the time though that tends to be amd. 760 is a good card and was my choice while the 7950/7970 were costing more

At the very least wait a week for Nvidia's big event. Very likely there will be new cards to pick from.

and possibly lower prices on current ones. I doubt the new cards will be too affordable... nvidia..

New cards are around the corner. GTX 960, GTX 970, GTX 980 etc.

I think they will be revealed here the 17th.
