System Specs:
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77 -V Pro
Ram: G.Skill Ripjaw 2 x 4 GB
Processor: i5-3570K @ 3.4
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 1 GB OC
PSU: Seasonic M12ii 620W (just a note here, I'm planning to upgrade my PSU here pretty soon http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139044 something like this)
Case: Fractal Design Arc Midi R2
So as the title says I'm preferably looking for a sizeable upgrade for under $250, but if spending a little extra is worth it please don't hesitate to give those suggestions as well. I really want the card to have good cooling, so 2 fans or more. Also as my case is a mid-tower at the moment I can only support a card at max maybe 11.5" as far as I'm aware so nothing too big.
I don't care if it's NVIDIA or AMD, drivers are so easy to uninstall and replace nowadays you can do it in your sleep.
But really I want the meat to play all the delicious looking games coming in 2014 at high settings at 1080p like Dragon Age: Inquisition and The Division to name a few that look really good so far.
I've noticed that the AMD R9 270's and 270X's are getting really good hype lately. But can I go bigger is the question?
Crossfiring/SLI is comething I definitely want to dip into in the future as well. I'll be purchasing this upgrade within the next month, and I live in the US if that helps! Thank you.
