I'm looking to buy a new graphic cards over the weekend to replace my old HD6670. I will be running the newer game like Company of Heroes 2, Dragon Age Inquisition, and Star Wars the old republic.

Mobo: MSI 970A-G46
CPU: AMD FX 8120
PSU: Corsair TX650M
RAM: 8GB
GPU: AMD HD6670
Monitor Resolution: 1920 x1080
I'm not looking to Overclock or use SLI.

I'm comfortable with both Amazon and Newegg.

I was looking at the R7 265 or the R7 260, but I read on this forum that there's drive issue with the R7 260.

I'm seeing some r6 260x at 110, and that seems like a incredible deal to me.

the 175$ r9 280 seems nice as well but not sure I can justify it to myself.

the HD6670 lasted two years for me and I'm thinking of replacing this new one in two years as well. In that case the R6 260 seems perfect as a card to last two years, and I doubt the r9 280 can last 4 year.

I ended up buying the r9 280, thanks for the heads up on the black friday deal.
