Graphics Card Upgrade / Bottleneck?

DrkProdigy09 · Oct 26, 2014

I'm looking to upgrade my PC which has a amd fx 6300 and a Radeon 7770 GHz edition, and i am assuming here the GPU is my bottleneck so i am looking to upgrade it.
my price range is around $150-200 USD

If your PSU can handle it R9 280 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r9280gaming3g

R9-280: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100054390%2040000048%204017%20600489223&IsNodeId=1&name=Radeon%20R9%20280
An under appreciated card.

I have a 430 watt PSU, will that be enough?

Yeah, that only has a single 6+2 pin PCIe power cable anyway. The R9-270 would be the best you could safely use.

Yep R9 270 would be the best performing card for that PSU. Still a very good upgrade from the HD7770.
