Purchase Date: Flexible

Budget: Up to $400 including rebates

Usage: 4k gaming/VR

Current GPU: R9 290 and an 800 watt psu

System Specs: Fx-8370, 16 gb ddr3, 480 gb ssd

I don't care too much where it is sourced from as long as it is priced correctly. I don't mind buying a used card either.

Anyways, I'm asking because I don't see many viable upgrades myself and I thought I'd see what the Tom's community knows. Thanks in advance.

you are basically at max gpu your setup can handle already

if you want more gpu power then you are going to need to completely rebuild your setup

the 8370 is particularly not good for VR

4k gaming you want minimum a gtx 1080 ti, which is well outside your budget
