I currently have a 7870 and wanting to upgrade first which should i upgrade to 290 or 280x.
from 7870.

Also i have a core i7 2700k CPu 3.5ghz, is this cpu good enough or will it bottle neck.i cant overclock.

I have a antec 900 watt high current gamer PSU as well. has 2 8 (6+2) pin will that be enough to power the card.

Os is windows 7 64 bit

Mobo is p8 z68-v gen3

8gig ram

Any input is appreciated thx
