My Specs at the moment:
E8400
P5QSE
NVIDIA 9800GT
7GB RAM
550W PSU

basically im buying a new pc, but at the moment i can't play that many games without getting 20 fps, all the old games are slowly dying such as cod4. im interested in playing bf3 and bf4 and i want to buy a graphics card that im able to use on my pc atm.

i was thinking about the R9 270 (NOT X) http://www.msy.com.au/pimages/sadasdasdsadasdasdasdhghghgnsssdsvvsvsv.png

once ive bought the R9 270 i will be upgrading my pc slowly

AMD FX-6300 6 Core Black Edition Processor
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler
ASUS M5A78L-M LX V2 Motherboard
Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3

thank you :)
 
Solution
go for it, sounds ok. the other components will need to come all at once. new ones aren't compatible with the old. none of them. (maybe the cooler but that's not helping)
