Hey guys, I am looking into a new GPU more specifically the PowerColor Radeon HD 7850 to replace my NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 and i was wandering around Google and came to the conclusion that this is a pretty decent card for my price range of 170$, so my question is do you agree and do you know if this will fit my motherboard, MSI 760GMA-P34? Also this is a bit off topic but i can't find them in stock ANYWHERE if someone could help me find them in stock that would be helpful!

THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO ANSWERS, IN ADVANCE.

It will fit your motherboard. AMD recently overhauled their line of graphics cards, renaming most of them to fit with their new R7 / R9 naming convention, and introduced their new Hawaii architecture. The 7850 is now known as the Radeon R9 265 and should be pretty easy to find.

Thank you so much was beginning to think no one was going to answer but i wonder why they decided to change the names it seems pointless...

They just wanted everything to seem brand new. Actually there are a few changes, most noticeably slight OCs on core and memory for stock. However the architecture remains the exact same for the rebranded cards
