YellowFellowYF · Nov 25, 2013

Im thinking about upgrading my gtx 650 for something better. I want something that can play the next gen games on medium settings, nothing to hardcore... Thanks! (I'm thinking about something in the gtx 700s series)

Well, do you have a specified budget for the upgrade? If you give us an exact number we'll be able to give you a better suggestion.

under $300

Seems a practical system already. Only thing I could see if upgrade the video card for longer term performance, but your fine otherwise basically. Another solution would be to add SSD to alleviate the lag caused by Windows just running in itself.

yeah i know but i want it to run next gen games on med-high settings smoothly

I would go for a 760 gtx if you want something right now.

$240, free games, free flash drive and you'll get roughly double the performance you are getting right now.

Best for $300

huilun02 :

whats the difference between your 2 nvidia cards?

Joshontech · Nov 25, 2013

I would deff agree with huilun02 about the 760 upgrade that card will kick butt. I have an evga 780 (i am an enthusiast) and I love it and I can bet you will love the 760.

huilun02 · Nov 25, 2013

The GTX 670 outperforms the 760 despite being older.

The R9 280X outperforms both Nvidia cards though. It is as good as the 7970 in the charts.

Joshontech · Nov 25, 2013

YellowFellowYF :

The difference is price and the 760 is basically the 660 overclocked like a mother and the 670 is an older model card and its asus vs evga but yet more powerful than the 760.
