Do you mean your monitor? If you do, unless your going to 1440p, I wouldn't really imagine you'd need to upgrade your 7850. Anyway, the 7870/270X are not much more powerful than a 7850 anyway.

If you want to upgrade your GPU, go with the R9 270x. You will not need to upgrade your PSU. Your current GPU is fine but if you want to be playing at very high settings then an upgrade is probably the best option.

The 7870 is a pointless upgrade over the 7850. With that power supply you could go up to a 270x or a gtx 760 without problem.

I will assum your psu is maybe a lower quality one from corsair that does not have over 40 amps on the 12v rail (needed for anything more powerful than a 760 or 270x

Even the 270x is not leaps and bounds faster than your 7850 though...

The 270X is a just a refreshed 7870 lol.

Refresh but still tweaked to be faster

For pretty much the same price as a R9 270X you could get a GTX 760 which has slightly more performance. http://www.hwcompare.com/15662/geforce-gtx-760-vs-radeon-r9-270x/

In all the reviews I've read they're pretty much the same. It's still a pointless upgrade over a 7850 IMO,

if your viewsonic is 1080p then stick with that.to see a big difference you need to go with 27 '' and you need about 250$.. better spend it on a gpu. a 270x is an rebranded 7870 not that better from the one you already have. as for your psu no need to change it. can run even a Radeon R9-280X - 30A and a 550W psu minimum recommended.

The performance boost of a 760 over a 7850 just isn't worth it. If he's going to get value for money for an upgrade he'd really need to be looking at a GTX 770/280X or better.

280x is your choise cause nvidia 770 has 42A recommendation on the 12v rail which is higher than your corsair 550w can do if im not mistaken!if i am then 770 is also an avaliable option

Yeah they do recommend a minimum of 600w PSU for the 770 but everyone knows you don't really need that much. A 550W PSU would be fine.

 

[Brantyn Gerik]

It is really on the lowest quality corsair that won't be able to run a 770, otherwise the other models can all output the 42 amps needed by the 770

Thankyou guys,....
but to finalized all...
are you all trying to mean that if i would just stick with my current 22" viewsonic led, its ok not to chnge my Sapphire 7850 2g wid corsair VS-550w?
its just like im afraid if i stick with my same gpu i might have problems in coming great games this 2014... im not always on ultra if only necsessary....

Get the new monitor first, end of story, your system is still almost as powerfl as the current consoles, and if you need more power later on, you can buy a newer gpu, as they are upgrading faster than monitors are.
