I want to know what is the best graphics card I can get, and your opinions if I should or not scrap this pc and buy a new one.

PC specs:

CPU: AMD athlon ll X2 270
Motherboard: ASROCK- N68-S3 FX
RAM: 4GB DDR3

I am willing to upgrade my CPU and my graphics card.

The types of game that I would like to play are the following:

Battlefield 3 and 4.
Alien: Isolation.
The evil within.

Your MB supports AM3+ CPU's so you def have a viable upgrade path

AMD FX-6350 Vishera 6-Core 3.9GHz Socket AM3+ $129

SAPPHIRE 100364L Radeon R9 270X 2GB $169

Up your ram to 2X4gb

Make sure your current PSU is up to par(at least 500w)

If you gonna upgrade,save money you might as well go for a Haswell i5, other than that use 8GB of RAM and get either the GTX 760 or AMD r9 270X/280X since prices dropped quite a lot.

the GTX 760 is less power hungry than the 270x, no worries
