I have a PC that I upgraded around 2 years ago. It has an I5 (2500K) on an Gigabyte (XFire) motherboard, with 8gb Corsair Vengeance ram, and 160gb Samsung SSD/1TB 7200RPM drives. Power is supplied by a Corsair 650TX.
My graphics consist of a single MSI R9950 Twin Frozr MkIII GPU and a 27" Dell U2711 (1440P) monitor. This lot runs Windows 7 (64 bit).
I want to upgrade the GPU but I'm not sure if I should be looking at another R6950 (one of my cards is up on E**y for around £45 currently!) or looking at something much more sophisticated/up-to date. I want to be able to play the latest games (BF4, MMO's, Shogun2, COD/Ghost etc.) at max settings at 1440p. My budget will vary according to answers-I have £200 now but will wait if I need to. I have plenty of old games I can play whilst waiting to save funds if need be but I'd like to sample some of the latest gaming goodies when I can!
