Hello guys,

So I'm getting a i5 6500 and I want a good graphics card right now I a r9 270 and I can get a rx 470 for $215, all I want to know is will the rx have massive performance increase?

Thanks

~Tom

An RX 470 is approaching double the performance of an old R9 270 (= 7850 with a clockspeed bump). I'd consider that a very solid upgrade personally.

Are you buying the i5 6500 new? Just bear in mind that Ryzen 5 launches on April 11 and is looking like it could well shake up the CPU performance you can get for the standard price of those mid-range i5s. We'll have to wait for proper benchmarks to confirm, but it might be worth waiting a couple of weeks to see where things stand.

What games are you playing? Look for benchmarks on youtube and decide it for yourself. Because if you really want a massive performance increase and you have the budget go for gtx 1070.
