I have the option to acquire an R9 290x for £135 if i trade my 270x and an old gaming mouse.

 

Should I go for it or not? Is it worth it?

DONT BUY REFRENCE 290X.

this you cn get a non reference 290 for less much less and no trading

Please follow your topics guys, it's very important! CoC F.A.Q  Please use the corresponding PC part picker link for your country USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Spain, Italy, New Zealand and Germany

also if you find anyone with this handle in games its most likely me so say hi

I would stick with the 270x and get a second one cuz reference cards SUCK unless you find a non reference 290 for same price

We're all dying slowly

I have looked around and the cheapest I could find one was for £170 and it was quite difficult to get

 

Also I was planning on eventually putting a Corsair HG10 or something similar on it

BTW it is a reference 290x and an MSI 2GB 270x

n second thought, why not get reference and on of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181085&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-VGA+Cooling-_-N82E16835181085&gclid=CIHWr5fEgsQCFYhhfgodDzgAOg&gclsrc=aw.ds

Then get it if you will put that thing on it.
