My budget is only for GPU so i cant change my Processor and Mobo. Maybe in the future.I've been using this for over a year now and i think its time to upgrade/buy my first GPU.At first i thought of cross-firing it but cant find the needed GPU so better buy a GPU instead.I will put the list of GPU that are available near me with price. so please everyone help me what do you think is that best for my current system will put my specs below.Sorry guys I'm totally noob to graphics cards because i can only build APU system.The prices are in PHP so i converted it to USD. My Budget can buy anything on the list so if anyone know what is the best please do suggest :)

my pc specs is :
Processor : amd a10-6800k
Mobo :msi a55-e33 fm2
Ram : hyperx 2x4gb 1866
Psu : Fps 500w PSU
HD : 500gb WD HDD
OS : win 8.1

here is the list :

Solution
The cheaper Palit one is fine. The Jetstream has a better cooler, and should run a bit quieter but its up to you weather its worth the extra money.
The Sapphire Dual-X 270X, if you have the necessary power connectors (2x6-pin), will work just dandy (some models of the R9 270 only require a single 6-pin connector, and will perform at nearly the same levels).

The GTX 960 is a good card, too -- not sure if the price premium would be worth it in your case.

Guys which palit 960 should i go there are 2 palit 960 the jet stream and the other
i will probably upgrade to FX series in the future if i found a buyer for this mobo + pro. do you think 960 would work on FX just fine too?



i think i cant crossfire it cos its richland the next gen A10 is the one you can crossfire with R7 i think correct me if iam wrong

thanks a lot rob. i see there is a little difference in specs but that didnt matter too much its just like the asus and the asus strix only difference is cooling. and i dont think i need to spend more for that cooling. do you think the 960 would work just fine on AMD FX cos i think i will upgrade my processor next

Yeah it will, although I would recommend going for a H81 motherboard and a Intel i5 4440 if you are on a budget. All of the FX CPUs are quite old now, and it wont be until 2016 before they get a significant update (which will likely use a different socket/motherboard anyway).
