HD 7870 2GB DDR5 256bit GHz Edition
RX 550 2GB DDR5 128bit Gigabyte

Which one is better and gets more FPS in games?
Btw,are my specs bad? This is my first time posting and I really need help..

PC:
I3 2120 3.3Ghz
Thermaltake contac 21 CPU cooler
GPU : Can't decide between these two
500GB HDD
128GB SSD
8GB RAM 1600MHz
450W PSU
Windows 10 64bit
 
to at least a I5-2500, but good luck on finding one. That PC is pretty old. You may want to consider a motherboard/CPU/RAM upgrade when you get the chance, but look for a i5-2xxx CPU and you should be fine.

However, don't expect great results, because again, the motherboard is so old.

HD7870 definitely. Beats the 550 by a noticeable difference.



I'd recommend the i7-2600k if it fits within your budget. I mean... you can find the i7-2600k cheap secondhand and it just SO good overclocked. I would really just say, skip out on the HDD. Try to buy one later, upgrade your SSD to 240GB. The difference between a 120GB SSD & 240GB one is there. But really... if you can, go for thr i7-2600k (Provided your going to overclock it) But you would need to upgrade your motherboard too...
