Hello Everyone!
I'm looking for a new GPU for my computer beacouse the previous one performance was poor (GTS450). In the future i'd like to change my CPU and mobo to i5-4460 and ASrock H81M-DGS R2.0. But for this moment i need a card which can work with my actual components and then with new when i buy them.

My actual setup:
CPU
AMD Athlon II X4 640
RAM
4,00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 669MHz (9-9-9-24)
mobo
ASUSTeK Computer INC. M4N68T-M-LE-V2 (AM3)
HDD
465GB Western Digital WDC WD50
PCU Corsair VS450

My budget is maximum 200USD but in my country everything is more expensive so some less than this :p
My types are: R9 270 and GTX 660 or cheaper R7 265.
Will they perform well with both CPU's and is there anything better in this budget? Maybe there is a way spent less and get similiar performance?

I count on You friends, please help me :)

Well once you get that i5 and R9 270 you will be good to go. Your PSU, although not one of the highest quality, is good for this setup. It will work fine with the i5 4460 and R9 270, no need to get another PSU.

The R9 270 is a very nice GPU. I wouldn't recommend the GTX 660, it is an outdated GPU. You could wait a couple of weeks, when nvidia supposedly will introduce their new GTX 950 and GTX 960 gpu's.
That being said, your cpu will probably cause a bottleneck in your system, and any of those gpu's will probably not be able to work at their full potential. With the i5 this will not be a problem.
I suggest getting the R9 270 which will be a noticeable upgrade, and it will work without any bottleneck once you get the i5.

Ironsounds thanks for the link it's really helpful :)

GameOver007 You think that my PCU is too weak to hold new CPU and GPU? On other forums people recommended me this one and they said that it will be enough for this. I bought it 2 days ago and i don't wanna to buy next one :x
