Need Help Upgrading GPU

Jpux · 27 Jul 2014 at 16:54

Im currently running a GeForce 560Ti and I'm looking to upgrade for upcoming games

I have a budget of around £180 so could anyone suggest a high performance card that will meet my budget and work with my pc

Processor: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.50GHz (Devil's Canyon) Socket LGA1150

Motherboard: Asus Z97-K Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard

Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817374032

Thank you

Look around for a good r9 280x deal. It will offer great performance for the money

I would have recommended stretching the budget slightly to grab a second hand 290 but i wouldn't trust the PSU with one.

Four 12V rails rated at 25A each but PSU is rated at 650w, something smells fishy

Another +1 for the 280x. Give a massive upgrade from what you currently have and won't break the bank.

Lowest price is £220+, cant afford

280 non x if budget is inflexible, will give you plenty of gaming grunt at 1080p, ultra in pretty much anything

Either one of these?

To be honest I only really trust Nvidia, Ive heard bad things when it comes to AMD
