Hey,

In a month or two I am going to be upgrading my PC so it can handle the newer games (Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, GTA V, DayZ, Titanfall etc.) as mine at the minute wouldn't dream of running them at all.

I was thinking of buying these parts but I still need help deciding which graphics card I should add.

I have a budget of around 200 GBP (302.12 USD) to spend on a graphics card but don't mind going over a little bit.

CPU -- AMD FX 8350 Black Edition 8 Core
GPU --
RAM -- 8GB Corsair Vengeance
HDD -- 1TB Western Digital Caviar
MOB -- Gigabyte 970A-UD3P
ODD -- Asus DVD/RW Drive
PSU -- Corsair CX750
CASE -- Corsair Carbide Series 300R Windowed


If anyone has any good ideas then please reply to this.

Thanks

What are your current specs, including case and PSU? What is your full upgrade budget? When will you be upgrading?

Id personally go with a R9 280X. Heard some very good reviews on the card, And the benchmarks look good.

Thanks for getting back to me.

That looks like a very nice card. With the specs I have listed above what do you think I would be able to play Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare & DayZ at (specs wise)?

Personally, I'd spend a little bit more and get a GTX 970. One of the best out there for the price for sure.

Are the specs in your OP your current specs? In another thread you mentioned that you currently have an FX-4300 so if what you've listed is your planned upgrades, you should change that completely. If you're getting a new motherboard anyway, you'd be better switching to Intel. Drop the CX750 for sure.
