New Graphics Card

[Revolver]

About time my 6850 was updated. Thinking of a 290X? In this price range the alternative nvidea is a GTX 760. I don't erally know enough about cards these days.

Rest of the set up is i5-3570k 8gb corsair ram and I'm planning on changing the storage to a 240BG Vertex ssd with a WD 1TB Black. Thoughts?

280X is better than the GTX 760 although not by a huge amount.

You'll notice a huge difference switching to SSD.

I swear that's gone up. I keep saying 290 but I mean 280x. It's £190 now, I swear it wasn't that before

I've got a 60GB SSD (OCZ Agility 3) but it's not enough. OCZ Vertex 240GB is around £100 so I'm going to go for that with the WD Black as doc storage. Those paired with the graphics should see me through a few more years. Then my Mobo will need updating.

I compared the 290.

The 760 is better and cheaper than the 280.

Oh well, bit late now. I ordered this one...

The difference in performance is minute. Only talking a single FPS or two.
