new gpu or new cpu?

[CinderzFTW]

Got a bit of spare cash around... so wondering

Already got FX 6350 and a 7870 2gb...

Get a fx 8320 or get a new gpu?

 

[stulid]

GPU init.

 

[CinderzFTW]

so my 6350 is still good then i take it... best gpu for around £100???

 

[Doomedspeed]

You won't get anything better than a 7870 for £100.

 

[CinderzFTW]

what about a 7950... worth upgrading to that?

 

[stulid]

How about sell the 7870 and grab a R9 280/280X?

 

[CinderzFTW]

need a new gpu first... the 7870 might be going to my misses

2nd hand 7970 gets my vote.

 

[stulid]

Init.

7970 is a 280X.

Much better gpu.

 

[CinderzFTW]

well im looking at a 7950 flex 3gb on the MM for £85/90 which I think is good...

would my XFX Pro550W be enough?

 

[stulid]

Of course.

Made by Seasonic, good PSU.

Do you have MM access? I agree with a second hand 7970, equates to a 280X and a few have been going on the MM for around your price bracket

w3bbu got a 280 going... see if i can get him down to £100 instead of £110

Beg to differ: 7950?

Bench Also seen 280x's go for this kind of money. Improvement to be had but worth the £100? Depends on what games you play I guess


Edit; Ah crap I take ages to type!

 

[CinderzFTW]

think this is the wrong place to ask, but how much you reckon I would get for my 7870 with a gelid icy visions rev 2 cooler on it?

 

[stulid]

You're right, price check forum only for that.
