I have a dell xps 8300 intel i7-2600 3.4 ghz 16 gigs of ram> I have a 450w psu and a AMD Radeon HD 6450. I currently play games like borderlands 2, tf2, portal 2, as well as a l0ot of steam games. Am I correct in assuming most of my pc is good except the psu and gpu? I was looking to upgrade my computer with the r9 270x or the r9 270. All I want is a card that is well suited for about 3 more years of good gaming. Running games like borderlands and Warframe on high settings. I only have 1 23 inch monitor that I run at 1080p. However, if I want a new gpu I have to upgrade my psu. I was thinking of going with the
PRO XPS-550W-SEW ATX12V & EPS12V Power Supply (110 V AC, 220 V AC Input Voltage - 1 Fans - Internal - ATI CrossFire Supported - NVIDIA SLI Supported)
It has 550w which is more then enough to support the r9 cards correct? So I am looking to upgrade my computer and I want to know if upgrading the psu then getting an 29 is a good choice? I have no preference over radeon of NVidia. I tend to value performance over appearance. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
My current setup has issues running games like tf2 on low settings without some lag.
