So, I've been looking for a new graphics card, as my current one (a Sapphire Radeon 6450 HD) is no longer cutting it for all of the different games that I play. It's fine for day-do-day computing, but I really only play games on here. I'd really love to be able to play them the way they were meant to be played; with beautiful, lag-free graphics. I mainly play World of Warcraft, Skyrim, Oblivion and other games that aren't as graphically demanding, so I was looking for something that would be around the $200-$250 range. I've really had my eye on the MSI R9 270X HAWK, but as you all may see, it's out of stock currently. I am torn between that and the one that is $10 cheaper, because I'm not entirely sure what the difference is between the two, other than the colors.
I am also looking to future-proof my computer for a while too, and have started that by getting a much better CPU recently. XDD Anyway, I really do like those two graphics cards, but I'm not sure which to get, or even if either of those are the best for what they are. I've read that they are from a family of new-generation graphics cards, so I'm sure they'd be better than what I did want to get, which was a HIS Radeon 7850 2GB with IceQ. Any input at all would be great. Income tax season is abound!
Thanks for any assistance for a hardware noob like myself.
