Hi. Looking to upgrade my current GPU with about $200 to spend. The GTX 560 has been a good card but it struggles with games like Far Cry 4, Middle Earth:SoM, etc. I want to run these games at a medium to high spec.

The R9 280 looks like a good card but I'm not sure if my PSU can provide enough power. I will buy a new PSU if needed. System specs...


Windows 7
Intel i5 3470
8GB of DDR3
Gigabyte Z77P-D3
Nvidia GTX 560 ti
Antec 550W VP550P


Any help is greatly appreciated.

sure R9 285 is somewhat more expensive and performing on par with R9 280, however it consumes less power,which means less heat which also means more silent fans.newer architecture as emdea mentioned too.
