CPU: Intel Core i5-2500k 3.3ghz
GPU Radeon HD 7770
PSU: 600w
Ram: 6gb

I'm looking for an upgrade from my Radeon HD 7770. I'd prefer it to be around $150, but I'll go up to $200 if the performance increase matches the extra price.

I'm going to be using it almost entirely for gaming. Dragon Age Inquisition is coming out soon and I have serious doubts my current setup will run it well.

I was thinking about the Radeon R9 270, but I wanted to get some advice from people who know this stuff better than I do. I'd appreciate any help because honestly, I don't get to make upgrades very often so I need to make sure it's a smart purchase when I do.

Yeah I apologize for the vagueness on the PSU. I bought it almost two years ago and while I remember that detail, I can't recall the rest.

And is the 270x really worth the extra price? Just about everywhere I look it has a $20-$40 price difference.

That's why I posted that link. So you could see if you thought it was worth the cost difference. Only you can decide that.
