Hey Guys,
My current gaming PC is getting too slow and I'm hinking of upgrading it. Now I came to the question, wether I should choose a 3-Way SLI of GTX 560s or one R9 280X.
I already have one 560 and could get one from my friend for 50€. I would get the third one from Amazon or Ebay. The other way would be to get a R9 280X by AMD. That would be a lot more expnsive, but I don't know, if it is worth the money.
Thanks

The GTX 500 series are getting old and outdated, while the R9 series are new and future-proof, and will give you better performance. You will have to upgrade your PSU if you don't have a decent one if you want to SLI two 560s. Sell your GTX 560 while you can, and but that new R9.
