Hello, so a year back i got myself my first "gaming" pc, intended to do some mid spec gaming... the system i got was this:
Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-S1 Motherboard
A8 7600 APU
R7 250 2GB GPU (working in dual graphics with the apu)
16GB 2133 mhz RAM
5900 rpm HDD
So... yesterday XCOM 2 came out... and it's playable (28fps) at a 720p resolution and med settings, but i want a little more eyecandy and be able to play in 1080p, so i was thinking of upgrading mi system a bit. I am buying a 500 GB SDD and a new graphic card, so far i am interested in a R9 270... and here is where i need some help, since the only hardware upgrade i've ever made was changing my RAM sticks... so i have a few questions.
1) How do i know if the R9 270 is compatible with my APU and Motherboard?
2) Why some cards of the same R9 270 have more fans than others and cost way more, i've seen different models of said gpu with with a difference of 80 dollars... so what's up with that?
