Hey guys,

I wanna buy gtx 760 gpu or r9 270x powercolor, pls help me to decide between those 2..

I wanted to know, would my computer handle one of those to, btw my rig is :

CPU- i5-2300 2.8ghz
Motherboard - P8H61-M LE
PSU : 620W

Thanks to all in advance :)

Check out the r9 280, if its available. It's roughly around the gtx 760 performance area on AMD's side. If it's not too much more expensive, then maybe consider that, otherwise the r9 270x is still a good card.

well if youu dont have a good air flow case, then go with the gtx 760 but if you have a good case, you could go with the 270x. But if you want to take advantage of shadowplay then nvidia obviously. or get the mantle card and get games that use mantle.

Hmm, man said that he will give me gtx 760 directII oc for 190euro, and r9 279x powercolor is 160euro, but amd giving free games i think when u buy amd gpu, btw i only wanted to hear would my cpu bottleneck any of these two, and my psu will handle it, but i think psu is ok, thanks anyway :). Ofcourse we are talking about new gpu's :)
