Hi guys

got my rig in 2010/2011, wanna play games like Metro Last Light and BF4 at least on high settings.

ASROCK Z68M/USB3 + i5 2400 3GHZ
2X4GB RAM
AMD RADEON HD 6850
ANDYSON 500W PSU
WD 1TB HDD

Am thinking of changing to a 7950.
Any recommendations?

What is your budget?

If you wanna keep everything. Then only upgrade the gfx card.

Change to GTX760 instead from $355 onwards. 7950 only if you wanna buy from Amazon and wait for 1-2months time. USD219

it would be better to state the model of your PSU and what casing you are using.
the last thing you want is to follow blindly and buy to find that your case cannot house the card.

HIS 7950 no more $219 liao, left with MSI if i iirc.
My mobo + processor not obsolete yet?
My plan is
-get 7950/760
-change to sli/xfire friendly mobo + change psu in the future.

My budget now about 500+++

Chassis is some icute model but cant seem to find it on their official website, maybe discontinued liao.

Researched on changing mobo without processor and process seems tedious. And buying a standalone mobo seems bohua?

Help please, noob here!
