Graphics card upgrade
Hi, I have a question. I have an AMD A4-3400 Llanno CPU and 4GB DDR3 @ 665 MHz with an MSI A55M-P33 Motherboard with intigrated ATI AMD Radeon HD 6410D Graphics.

I'd like to upgrade to play WoW, LoL and the new Titanfall game.

I was looking into the new 750 Ti EVGA card for 169.00.

I know this card is not the best but I'd like to play on High/Ultra and I'd like a recommendation what card I should go with.
This is a temporary build before I build my 1,500$ PC in the future.

I have been researching for a while and the 8-core AMD for streaming looks promising but I'd like some support for the decision.

Any help would be appreciated!!!!!!

Around 200$ budget for temp card

Get the 270(X) or a much better one that you can put in your 1500,- build then. If you want me to suggest something now get the r9 270(x) because when your building that 1500,- build the more expensive card that you...

The psu can handle them if they have the right amount of 6(or8) pin power connectors, on the most r9 270's it's only one 6 pin.

Yea, i agree with L Helps, i would go with the 270x. Either way, you will get some bottlenecking because the GPU would be way better then your cpu. But since you said this is temporary. I think you should be fine. Are you going to put this card in the new build that you are going to do?

What he aims for is buy a better gpu now and take it over to your 1500,- build.

I'd either like to take it to the other computer or just leave it in this one for a backup/ one for my fiancee.

Either option would be good.

If you're building that 1500,- build within half a year buying a better one now wouldn't be a bad option though.

Alright, I know im going to have bottlenecks but would you say with the r9 270(x) I'd be able to play most games on High/Ultra with playable framerates?

Usually i get whatever brand is cheapest. I personally like MSI, but look around and pick whoever is offering the best bundles with games and whatnot.
