Hi guys, i've recently thought of getting myself a new rig and i was wondering if i should sell my GTX 760 and replace it for a r9 280x or keep it to sli. Please give me some suggestions, thanks!

Why not reuse the gtx760 ?

 

[xtNero]

Im not exactly sure if it's capable of running Bf4 on 1080p at a constant 60fps.

Which 760 brand is it?

 

[xtNero]

It's the MSI gaming variant.

Why not?

can handle one..

If u wan to max out @ 1080p then x280 will be a better card ~

Gtx760 with a few options turn down can play as well

Ur win7 is tie to ur mobo, unless u mean *ahem* version

Anyway even so u can reuse it as well, just call them and say ur motherboard up lorry and u change to another mobo, they will give u a new set of key..

 

[xtNero]

I meant to say that i have a genuine set of Windows 8 installed on my current computer and the windows 7 disk is just something i had from before with product key included of course.
