So I would like to purchase a new graphics card, preferably the Asus R7 260x ( http:// ) Do you think this is worth it to play Next Gens Games at Mid-High settings with 30+ fps with this system?

AMD Athlon x4 740
6GB RAM
OCW 500w PSU

Or do you know a better GPU for the price? Thanks :D

A 270x would be a better choice. MSI has one for $199.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Comes with 2 free games (Nice since it lets you chose from a large amount of good titles)

OR
a 750ti is nice, but for $45 the 270x is much better

EDIT:
I see your in the UK and you are looking an amazon,
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-Toxic-1100MHz-Express-... is a nice card

DirectCU is a good cooler (As long as its not on the 290 chips) That card is not a 270X, its a 270, for the 20 euro the 270x Toxic would be worth it. A tad better performance and amazing cooling on that Toxic.

Is the actual card £500 plus. Cause if it goes off offer I won't be able to get it. But If I could. I probably won't reach its full potential because of my gpu right, the AMD Athlon II 740x


But if so, Ill go with the R9 270x

Amazon does that to try to get people to by things.
Customer: OOOOOO! look at that wonderful deal!
Then they but the Item because the deal was so great. In reality that's the normal price for the card and it will never go past that point. You dont need to worry about the card jumping prices.

Well if it is that price, and i get that kind of money, i will buy that. It will also add some nice colour :D

Would you recommend this GPU for the price? as the toxic is not likely to fit in my computer: GeForce GTX 750 Ti
