Hi all,

I have just bought the following components and have yet to buy a graphics card and would like some advice on which card to get. My budget is £150-200.

Intel i5-4670K
ASUS Z87-A: ATX, USB3.0, SATA6GB/S, SLi, XFIRE
8GB Kingston Hyper-x Genesis Dual DDR3 1600MHz, X.M.P (2 x 4GB Kit)
240GB INTEL 520 SERIES SSD
Just a standard 24x DUAL LAYER DVD WRITER ±R/±RW/RAM
52 in1 Card Reader
Corsair 650W CS Series Modular 80 Plus Gold
Corsair H80i Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler

R9 270x or gtx 760

Would the R9 280X be better than the GTX 760?

Yes

Would the R9 280X be better than the GTX 760?

Yes and I would have recommended that one but its above your budget.

I've been looking about and I think I would rather fork out more now rather than get a card that will be no use in a year or two. I would probably stretch to £300.

You can get this Sapphire Radeon R9 280X for £250 http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/...aphicscards/amdr9280xseries/11221-02-40g.html

This VTX3D one is just £200 http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/...rds/amdr9280xseries/vxr9280x3gbd5-2dhev2.html

Both very good value for money and both will serve you well. If you can spend the money, I'd get one of those.
