Hey guys!

I am looking to buy a new videocard in price range of about 200€, but since I'm not good with computers, I want to hear your opinions...

For now I'm deciding between http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r9270gaming2g and http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r9270xgaming2g.

Are those two cards compatible with my other hardware?
Do you know about a better card for that amount of money?

I only use my computer for gaming and I want it to handle games like battlefield 4.
My curret videocard cant even handle games on meddium.

My computers stats:

Operating System
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
CPU
Intel Core i5 2500 @ 3.30GHz 51 °C
Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology

Motherboard
MSI H67MA-E35(B3)(MS-7680) (SOCKET 0)
Graphics
SA300/SA350 (1920x1080@60Hz)

Storage
931GB Seagate ST1000DM003-9YN162 ATA Device (SATA)
Optical Drives

Power Supply
HKC USP5550 It says: DC OUTPUT: 300W....i hope thats good enough

The 270X is obviously better. If you can swing it for it try to find an R9 280 or a GTX 760.

Also you NEED a new power supply. Corsair CX500 should do fine. You'll need one for a new card, and you really shouldn't even be using that power supply with the video card you have now.

and also I want to upgrade my RAM to this:

As far as connections go you're fine. You might actually have issues fitting in a video card in the case it's currently in. Measure from the back brackets where your video card will go until as far as you can go till you hit either the hard drive cage or the front of the machine and see how much room you have to work with.
