APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: The closer the better
BUDGET RANGE: BRL $850, about USD $370
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming (mostly playing PvZ: Garden Warfare, Borderlands 2, Diablo III and Hearthstone at the moment, but would like to play Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor when it's released)
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: Sapphire HD 4670 1GB and C3 Tech 500W 500R VE (DSA-500VE) PSU
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: AMD Phenom II x4 940 ~3 Ghz, ASUS M4A78, 4GB RAM, Windows 7 x64
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Whatever, I will probably order it from Paraguay where it's much cheaper (I live near it)
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Brazil
PARTS PREFERENCES: I have used AMD/ATI cards since my first PC, but have nothing against Nvidia. However I would like to use the new Mantle technology if possible since I don't plan on upgrading my CPU that soon. No manufacturer preference
OVERCLOCKING: No idea if it would help
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Only if possible/helpful with current HD 4670 + new GPU
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1280x1024, but I want to buy a 1920x1280 soon
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I have felt the need to upgrade since stuttering on Borderlands 2 began, MSI Afterburner increasing fan speed reduced the need for a while. Recently acquired Garden Warfare having to be played on Lowest settings increased the need again.
Would consider upgrading my motherboard, PSU and CPU too if the limitations are too high.
I have been considering the R9 280x, R9 270, R9 270x and the R7 260x, but those are not set in stone.
Thanks in advance
