I'm looking for an upgrade to my GPU that will be a good step up from my R7 260x it's the only component I want to change, but if I have to I can change maybe 1 or 2 things. I bought the R7 260x originally because first of all it was like 60 bucks with a rebate and I didn't play many graphically intensive games and it was a step up in graphics from my APU's built in ones an A10-6800k. My build is kind of messed up because originally I only wanted to play a couple games that were not intensive, hence the APU.

If possible I would like to be able to stream to twitch, while keeping the game fps at a solid 60fps or higher. And I would rather not have to replace my power supply because I like it a lot. I would also appreciate it if I could get a really great "bang for your buck" price, cause for 60 bucks the R7 260x is probably one of the best investments i've ever made.

Some Components in my Build:

CPU: AMD A10-6800K 4.1GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI A78M-E45 Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory
Power Supply: SeaSonic 520W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular

Thanks for the help!

 

If I were to get the 280x would I be able to stream while still getting 60fps or a playable framerate on most games?

 
it would be possible, however, if it is BF4 or other very demanding games, then I would recommenced a 290, they are about $230 right now, which is great. there is also that MSI lightning that is a 290x and is a great card at a great price $350 but is a bit over kill.
