Upgrading Ati 5770 budget £100 to £150 ish

[bob70932]

Any suggestion peeps?

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: this week I hope I have £240 but want to get a new case and cpu cooler so budget around £100 to 150.

USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: World of Tanks and anything else that takes my fancy

CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: Powercolor ATI 5770 XFX 550 core.

OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: Intel i5 750 (stock), 4GB 1333 ram V data, SSD 240, gigabyte mobo GA P 55 US3l rev 2.0 and using win 7 64

MONITOR RESOLUTION, 1920x1080

I have been looking at R9 270, R9 285 and 760 but the 760 seem ti be more expensive not sure if it worth the extra £.

I have also found a Asus GTX 660 for £89, I know it an older card but seem a good price

Companies always quote the worst case scenario for power supplies. As yours is good quality it'll be fine.

I have to say I am not a lover of Gigabyte, I am swaying towards the Asus 270x for £109 purely for the price. Albeit I do like the look of the msi R9 285. Too much choice.

 

[bob70932]

I have just looked at some reviews on the 285 and 280 and there is hardly any difference, in fact the 285 had slightly better FPS in the majority of test. the 280 x beats it.

 

[bob70932]

I see your point but it's cheaper and it gonna be better than my 5770.

Final update: i got a msi gtx 980 I also changed the mobo, psu, ram and cpu. Sdd still the same. lol
