I don't know a whole lot about this subject so just looking for some pointers. Currently have a Radeon 7850 HD 2G, and was thinking about going for something better. Also something that won't require getting anything else along with it, just a simple swap out. My processor is AMDFX 4300 Quad, and have 8GB of RAM. Cheers.

R9 280 from Amazon is about €180 and is a great upgrade. You'll get about €70-80 or so for the 7850 2nd hand going by what I've seen in recent times.
