Hey,
I need a bit of help, I'm thinking of getting the R9 280X (http://m.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202045) and I'm wondering if there are better fits for around $300. Also, any concerns I will need to take into consideration, (New PSU, etc.)

My computer specs:

Motherboard: IPMMB-FM (Formosa)
CPU: Intel i7 3770k
12GB RAM
Current GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7570 :(
Power supply: 460W

Extended specs:

Thank you, feedback is appreciated! Sorry if I left anything out or there are any spelling/grammatical errors (Writing this on my phone :p)

You have a good idea of getting a nice graphics card but my problem is that you need a better power supply. I don't know off the top of my head but I believe that card requires a minimum of 500watts. You could upgrade your psu at the same time or you could go down to the R9-270X which is still a very good card.
