    What's the latest GPU my system can support?

    Wow I haven't been on SharkyForums in ages, actually kinda surprised the forums are still here.

    So I've been out of the gaming scene for a couple of years and lost all track of the current GPUs. My system is listed in my sig but I'll repeat it:

    - Intel Core i7 920 @ the stock 2.67GHz (unsure of exact mobo)
    - 475W power supply (which I'd prefer to not upgrade)
    - 6GB RAM, Vista x64

    I'm currently using an ATI Radeon 4850 (which was new when I got the PC), so I'm looking to skip multiple generations and get the newest GPU that I can run on my PC without upgrading the power supply. Not really sure what that is though, can anyone help? Either nVidia or ATI, don't really care which.
    Desktop: Core i7 920 | 6GB DDR3 SDRAM | 750GB SATA-2 7200RPM HDD | Dell 1908FP 19" LCD | Radeon 4850 512MB | Yamaha YSTMS50 2.1 | SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio | Vista x64
    Laptop: Core i7-2720QM | 8GB DDR3 SDRAM | 750GB 7200RPM HDD | 15.6" HD LED | nVidia GT540M 1GB | Win7 x64

    You can do whatever GPU you want.

    PCIe 3.0 16x cards are currently the norm, but they are backwards compatible with PCIe 2.0, so go nuts.

    Maybe a GTX 760? Or an R9 270?
