Hey guys,

I'm not good at introductions so I'll just ask my question, is it a good idea to sell the Xbox 360 and my GPU (Sapphire AMD 7850 1 gb stock OC + Custom OC to 1Ghz) to buy a new GPU? The xbox is in mint condition and would fetch an ok price + a ton of games and the GPU is only about 7 months old so it's ok too. I'd buy a GTX 760, R9 280x or R9 290.

The thing is the GPU is aging and it doesn't run games on ultra and I'm a graphics whore and the recently announced Dead Rising 3 for PC needs a minimum 7870 GPU. I might also upgrade the CPU is I had any money left but it's still ok (i5 3470).



Thanks on advance people, you're awesome.

You haven't stated what screen you've got currently, so it's hard to know if an upgrade is necessary.

A SyncMaster T23B350 From Samsung, it's great tbh.

No, It's not. A monitor isn't great unless it is a 30" 4k, 120hz, IPS, 200bit, 1,000% RGB+++ color accuracy, 10,000,000:1 Contrast, Gsync, Semi-Matte/Glossy finish 21:9 monitor with a VESA mount.


LOL I don't have the space for anything bigger than a 26" on my desk and my gpu cant handle 4k gaming. It is 60hz though, the contrast is good, I'm using an AMD GPU so no Gsync, Glossy finish, 21:9 would be too big for my desk, a second monitor would be at an angle for browsing the internet while gaming, and it's wall mounted, as for the rest idk what it means tbh I'm a noob when it comes to choosing screens. If I like it I buy it.

Your cpu is fine, but a graphics whore really needs at least a R9 290!
