Hey Everyone,
I've had my Radeon HD 7850 2GB Factory OC'd for almost 2 years now, and I'm looking to upgrade my GPU for some of the newer games that are coming out. I recently picked up Dying Light, and with the lowest settings (it still looks awesome, by the way), I'm ranging from 25-40 FPS while I play. I'm willing to pay about $300 for a new card, but I would like some opinions on whether or not it's worth upgrading at the moment, or if I should wait for some price drops.
Here are my PC Specs:
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Samsung 840 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
MSI Radeon HD 7850 2GB Video Card
Cooler Master Storm Enforcer ATX Mid Tower Case
XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
Also, is my 550W PSU going to restrain my GPU choices?
Thanks in advance!
