hi i thinking of upgrading my current gtx560ti twin forzr with an asrock h61 u3s3 mobo to a newer gpu since its already 2 years old and getting a bit dated for playing the latest games.

what would be a good gpu to buy if i want a gpu that can provide the same graphics settings on bf4 as the 560ti on bf3? and how much would that gpu cost?

asrock h61 u3s3
8gb ram
i5 2400
550W psu
msi gtx560ti twin frozr
bitfenix merc alpha

A gtx760 will fit in well

Price range $320-$400 depend on brand

Just go for r9 280x if you even thinking about waiting for 760ti.

Anyway why still playing at 1680x1050?

760 is capable of playing 1080p settings at Ultra for BF4.

If your monitor is still at that resolution then better change your monitor first.

ok i think i'll go for the r9 280x, and ill get a better monitor in the near future, but ive got some questions first;
-any other brands would you recommend other than the 3 you have there looking for the most bang for my buck hahaha. (best if they bundle with bf4 heheh)
-also will it be better to buy during the next it show, or not much price difference?

Not at the moment.

The current Gigabyte r9 28X OC 3gb is the most value for money right now, going at $445.
