Hey guys, i recently built a gaming computer, it runs everything really well. I got my video card from my friend, and I have been wanting to upgrade my videocard. I have a 7770 and it runs games great, but I want to save up and hopefully by summer time I can buy a 7870. Only thing is i know video cards run out of date fast and was wondering if its not worth getting the 7870 and instead saving up more until I have enough for an r9 card. Just curious on if I should buy a 7870 or not, thanks.

What I'd do is get the 7870. The later I'd get another and crossfire them. That'd be about the same gpu power as a r9 280x.

The I'd sit on that for a while and see what's new.

But as you go up in gpu power you need to match it with your psu and even with your cpu
