I am planing on buying the r7 260x, do you have one that is better but around the same price, It would be good if its cheaper and better. ANd will the r7 260x be able to play planetside 2 and tera rising a mmorpg game?

It should play those games fairly well, probably not at max settings though. I would recommend saving $30 bucks and getting this

It's only about $30 more but a pretty good jump in performance. I've got an R9 270x and I love it.

Better get GTX 750Ti in almost the same price and it will perform better than R7 260X. What is your budget please

For that budget the R9 270/X would a good choice. Power supply willing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

R9 270/X requires 24 Amps on the 12v rail & a 500W PSU minimum

Also regarding supplementary power , the R9 270 needs 1x 6-pin PCI-E. The R9 270X needs 2x 6-pin PCI-E.

(R9 270 will perform similar to the HD 7870 in the benchmark)

With that budget you should aim for r9 270x. If you have psu of 500w or more get that otherwise buy gtx 750ti 2gb version
