    Hi,

    Looking at upgrading graphics card for Christmas, mainly for The Witcher 3 coming out in February, but DA:Inquisition aswell(although would probably be grand atm for that)

    My PC is

    CPU:i5 2500k
    RAM:8 GB( 2 x 4) G.Skill RipJaws-X PC3-12800U CL9
    MOBO: ASRock Z68 Extreme4 (B3), Sockel 1155, ATX
    SSD:64GB Crucial M4
    HDD:1000GB Samsung Spinpoint F3
    Case:Cooler Master HAF Mini 922M
    PSU:Corsair Professional Series Gold AX750, 750 Watt
    GPU:Sapphire HD 6950 (x2, but one can crash a bit)



    Worth going for a complete new build, or just replacing the graphics cards?

    Suppose the main thing is will the MoBo support a better AMD graphics card? Assume the PSU will since I'll be replacing 2 cards for one

    Nothing needs upgrading except the video cards. Have a look at the GTX970 or R9 290. Won't even be an expensive upgrade when you factor in the 2nd hand cost of the 6950's (about 80-100 each)
