Hi all,

I am looking at getting a new GPU but ive been out of the loop on components for some time now, so im asking peoples opinions on which card you would buy with your own money and reason why over the others
Here is the shortlist:
R9 280

I suppose that would help
Antec 750W PSU
Asrock 990fx extreme3 MOBO
AMD 6300 black 6core CPU
XFX 6950 GPU
Cheap nasty Packard Bell monitor

Billysielu - I wouldnt really want to go much higher,unless the gain were exponentionally greater.
I'm getting married in July so cant justify too much of a cost at the moment.

LtMatt - i had a look at the powercolor stuff but was put off by a fair number of bad reviews on a number of different websites.

So that is 2 expeirenced members who have suggested a Power color....
It was actually the power bank one i was looking at when i started to find bad reviews.

your assumption was bang on, i cant really go any higher than the cards i had referenced.

Im not really looking to OC, as its not something ive evered bothered with before so maybe the cheaper one (270x) might be a better option? Although the price difference is nothing atm.....
