I have a GTX 650 and have had it for a year and i think its time for an upgrade.

With the new AMD series and the new Nvidia cards there are a lot of old cards like the 7970 and 680 on sale. But is it work spending the extra money to get the new series?

I myself am looking over to the Nvidia side due to Shadow play and G-sync, but i am willing to give these things up if it means a better deal.

If i were to get the AMD cards i would be getting these.

Now to Nvidia.

680 : http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_i...

What would you recommend? Would it be fine with the older hardware or should i get the new stuff?

I would look in to R9 280x or GTX 770, both are powerful cards for only around 300€. Could you tell what games you will be playing? R9 280x will be a best on Battlefield 4 when mantle comes out!

The games i mostly want to play that my GTX 650 cant handle would be Assassins creed black flag,BF4, Watch dogs when that is out and Skyrim Modded to the ends of the earth.

Right now if the 770 Black flag bundle was in Australia i would get a 770 in a heart beat. But since it isn't here i am really confused to what i should get.
