I want to upgrade my Radeon R7 250 to something more powerful for light 900p gaming, and in my country the two best options are R7 360 which costs around 90$ and an RX 560 which is around 140$, so I was wondering if it is worth the 50$ difference. Also, I am taking into consideration the fact that R7 360 draws more power and it would reflect on my electricity bill. Any advice is welcome.

Thanks. It is around 160$, worth the jump from RX 560?

I guess it depends on what the extra $20 is worth to you, and what faster frame rates, slightly higher settings are worth to you. Here are some comparisons to help you make up your mind.

It's true the 360 is not that great relative to the 560. However, taking into account this is for 'light' gaming and at 900p, I don't think the 560 is going to give you enough extra value to justify the higher price. One thing is for sure, the 360 will be a lot better than that 250 in games which are appropriate for that level of card.

Of course, I have no idea what you mean by 'light gaming' so I could be wrong.
