New Card advice

[AHL]

Hi there,

Wondering if anyone would be able to help me out here.

Looking to grab a new card below is what I have and what I was planning on getting.

Current card: ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series

Was looking to spend £200 so this card (below) for me is ticking a lot of boxes. Just wondering if anyone had any advice or alternate suggestions?

Asus AMD Radeon R9 280 DirectCU II Top Graphics Card (3GB, GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0)

Competitor name. link etc.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Moving on,

What are the full specs of your current PC? what PSU do you have, what monitor do you have, what games do you play etc etc.

That doesnt tell me what PSU or indeed case you have.;

If you can remove the cases side panel and see what make and model the PSU is (need to check it can cope with a beefy GFX card) also do you know what case you have or the maximum gfx card it can support? no point buying a card only to find it wont fit physically inside the case.
