I'm looking at making a "new" computer (well, I'm reusing a majority of my parts so I don't have to spend a lot of money) and I current have a question.

My current graphics card is radeon 7870 GHz edition with 2GB of VRAM. What's the performance difference going to be between that one and this: http://m.newegg.com/Product?itemNumber=N82E16814161471

Also, any good recommendations for a graphics card for games coming out this gen? In specific, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Black Ops III (if I don't get it for PS4) and others. Ideally, I would only like to spend around $250 for the graphics card, as I'm going to be buying a new case, a keyboard, and maybe a fan controller. I want this computer to be my final build.

*A little more detail: I have an Intel quad core, I'm not entirely sure what the exact make is anymore. Its almost been 2 years since I've used it. I have 16gb of ram, and an SSD with windows 7 on it. Also, I have a 1,000 watt power supply, so power shouldn't be an issue.

Here's the case I've fallen in love with: http://m.newegg.com/Product?itemNumber=N82E16811156300
