hello everyone ,

My current setup is the following:
MOBO:Asus p5q-e
CPU: core 2 duo E8500 OCed at 3,9
GPU:Radeon HD formula 5750
RAM:4x1GB ddr2 800mhz
SSD:Samsung 830 128gb
HDD: 2 7200rpm 300gb each
PSU:coolermaster rs 500watt

The main issue is that i am having alot of lag while playing wow on high- ultra settings but on good everythinkg is smooth same goes for diablo 3.
Now in the next 2 month i will be upgrading to an i7 with 16gb ram ,new psu etc etc but for now i want to buy a new gpu and i was thinking of getting the amd r9 270x should i go for it or wait and get a card with the rest of my new built? am i going to see any difference with just a new gpu? I am aware that my mobo has a pci express 2.0 and not a 3.0 so what are your thoughts?

U do have a nice suggetion here but i am looking for a new temporary one to use with my new build as well.
As for Nvidia i do have some cards on my mind like the gtx 760.
Since my fears of my psu not being able to handle a new GPU are being confirmed i think i will just wait another 2 months and get a card with my new build so i might get a better one...

The PCI slot will not cause any performance issues. Go ahead and do the 270X.

If you want to upgrade the graphics why not look for a used HD7850 or GTX650Ti class of card from E-bay? It's not something I'd normally suggest but for a quick, short term boost it'll be cheaper than going new.
If you're going for an Nvidia card for the new build I suggest you get an Nvidia temporary card, that way you'll have the option of using it for PhysX in the new system.

Well my current PSU is the only reason i am still thinking of getting the new card since i do have CPU OC'ed it not that wise and i am not in the mood of risking the whole build.
