So, I've got this build I made on a budget a year and a half ago, so, I decided to get a newer GPU. From what I know, the R9 270 is roughly equivalent to the HD 7870 Ghz and when overclocked, can be better.
Since I was offered to swap them out by one of my family members since they are in a dire need of a new GPU, I was wondering if it's worth to get a R9 270 and give them the HD 7850 or just to save money and buy them something less expensive?
They occasionally game (Skyrim, Far Cry and the likes) on a 1680x1050 (He currently has a 6670 which is barely keeping up on such a screen.)
Also, the current build I have is an
i3-3220
8GB Kingston HyperX Blue 1600 Mhz CL9
Asus P8B75-m LX Plus
600W LC Power
