Worth waiting?

Go to solution Solved by Hatsune Miku,

You could probably run integrated while getting money for that r9 290 ~

But I guess it depends on how soon you need better graphics performance ^o^

Do whatever you feel is most comfortable ~ 03:07 local time sorri if this made no sense... ^^'

Hey guys I'm planing a build with an AMD A10 7850k and was going to use a R9 270 as well but I started to wonder if I should run off the integrated graphics for a little while and save up a bit more money and get a 290x or if I should just stick to the 270. Thanks guys looking forward to your replies

Save up money to get the R9 290 tri-x version but your CPU will bottleneck

save more by just using the APU alone

 

that way you can save faster for a 290

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Just wait for a 290. As long as you don't play extremely demanding games you'll be fine until you get the 290.
