    Hi all...
    Been a while since I posted in here....
    Currently looking at upgrading GPU on my current system.
    I have a gtx560ti in there at the minute.

    System is an AMD phenom x4 black edition...Overclocked to 4ghz
    8 GB ram
    Asus motherboard. ..can't exactly remember the model at the min sorry....
    PSU is a 750w corsair.

    Built the beast in 2011 and now want to upgrade the graphics to play the newer stuff ..

    I'm a bit out of the loop on the newer hardware....what's a good card in the 200 euro bracket.

    You will need a new CPU too realistically for the latest games, the X4 is weak and will bottleneck a new card in most new games, sometimes quite badly.

    For that budget a GTX960 is a pretty solid card.

    Would the R9 380 suit his budget? This plus shipping probably hits just under the €200 mark.
