question, (and apologies as it has probably been asked & answered 1000's of times before)

running i5 750 and 5770 vapor-x gpu. obviously both aging a bit now, mainly the gpu.

so what ya'll think best bet would be for 200 quid-haven't really kept an eye on amd's recent offerings.

i5 750 is not that bad. overclock is a little and get yourself one of these
nothing matches that for performance anywhere near that price and your i5 has enough grunt to run it just fine. :)

funny had actually been looking at that 7950.

the cpu actually overclocks quite well. think i've had it as high as 3.8 stable if my memory serves me correctly did have it as high as 4.2 but could never get it stable.

about 40/50 quid difference in the price in the 2 once you factor in the free games with the 7950, so leaning heavily towards that.....

but am i missing out anything with the newer tech amd cards? any new grond breaking developments with them, that's worth the extra?
 
yea toxic is a bit out of my league unfortunately......

the 280x @ £227 just about scrapes in once 1 add the postage to NI so think that might be my best option

also, and maybe should have stated this at the start but i assume a 650w corsair tx would be fine running ny of the above?
