I am using a Dell XPS 8700 Series running a graphic card of AMD Radeon R9 280.

Computer Specs:
-Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
-Memory: 16384MB RAM
-AMD Radeon (TM) R9 280
-Seagate Desktop HDD ST2000DM001 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
-Total Power: 460W Max

I have earlier asked this question for suggested upgrades and have decided to get a Samsung 850 EVO SSD after some help, but im still not sure what graphic card should i change to. My budget is around 400-500SGD.

If need be, i can upgrade my power supply too. But i would need suggestion on this too :D *I am planning to get corsair RMx750X to upgrade my power supply to 750W max.

The games i usually play are on 1080P (csgo/rust/Dying Light) and am looking to play Battlefield1 after upgrading.

Thanks for any help guys :D

Both the GTX1070 and the GTX1060 say the minimum requirements are 500w.
Thats not a realistic number. Just an estimate. But I wouldn't recomend you use a power suppy above 80% capacity. So at least 600 or 650W.
I got my XFX XTR 750w Gold (Exactly the same as the XFX Pro Series Black Edition - Tier 1 on tomsharware psu tier list) for about 120€. You can convert that to your currency. I just converted the price on the website for that Corsair and its about 138€.
But if you really want to go with the Corsair, you should search the internet for reviews. From several websites if possible.

Again, check the tomsharware PSU list: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
It provides you with pretty good information on...

I would say that you could invest your money on a gtx1070 or a gtx 1060 but I would also advise on buying a now power supply. I just got a XFX XTR 750 gold for a really good price. Its almost exactly the same as XFX Black Edition apart from the fan. Inside it's a Seasonic. Check the tomshardware PSU list.
On the cards both of them seem to be good investments so you don't need to upgrade for a more than a couple of years.
