Hey Toms people,

I'm looking for a video card to upgrade an older GTX 650 TI boost 2gb. I've been using this card ( from a older PC) since I built my newer PC 6 months ago, but now it's time to upgrade it to meet my system specs. However I'm not sure which card would provide the best value and performance for my PC. Mainly used for FPS, ARMA 3, BF4. I'm not a huge gamer however looking into the future too.

Specs:
AMD FX6350
8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport
Win 8.1 (64x)
Asus M5A97 R.2
Antec HCG-620M
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Not sure where to begin. Was thinking of GTX 750 or AMD R9. Budget around $150-$180.

Recommendations would be helpful and appreciated.

This is an R9 270, which is a great card. Overclockable a good bit, too. It is MSI, so it...

That would work, but Sapphire R9 270Xs aren't really the best. I had a friend who had an overheating issue and have seen many problems with overheating and DOAs here online.
