Hey guys.

I am looking for a replacement for my (very) old graphic-card. Currently I have a Nvidia Geforce 460 in my PC, but as you can tell, it needs to be replaced.
PC specs:
CPU: AMD FX-6300
RAM: G.Skill 2x4 GB RipJaws
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43

As you can see I dont need (nor want) a high-end PC or new graphic-card. And I was told that there wasn't really a really great graphic-card inbetween the HD 7850 and the R9 290 atm.
I did some research, and the best card for me is the HD 7850 Black Edition. Is that the best choise for me, or do you guys have a better idea for a graphic-card around 100-150 €

Some info:
I Dont need a high-end PC.
I am only using 1 monitor, and 2 GB should be plenty.
I mainly use my PC for gaming, but it isn't games like BF4, more like League of Legends, Counter Strike Global Offenssive etc. I just want a PC which can play medium-ranged graphic-games, but still last 1-3 years.
I really prefer low dB
I can if needed install Windows 8 pro, but I have my doubts about that upgrade.

Oh, my mistake - sorry.
I will read the review later, but you would recommend me to go get a Geforce GTX 750 Ti ?
 
270x and 7870 are basically the same chip. 270x is slightly newer and probably ~5% faster. Both will do fine.
Prices depend on where do you buy from and the current good offers.
In the GB amazon 7870 can be found for £140, 170x is ~£155.
Based on the initial reviews 750TI is also a nice card - should be very cool and silent also. It is worth considering.
If you think it will be slow for your needs - it is only the first maxwell card, no doubt others are coming soon if you can wait.

Damn. But I think I will get the 270X 3-4 GB. Maybe the Hawk or the Gaming Edition.
