Go to solution Solved by Sean Ryan,

O.K. I will get R9 280x Graphics Card,  Corsair CX750M 8 pin Power Box.  What about RAM (it has 6GB ) should I upgrade?

I have a GA-EX58-UDS Motherboard, Intel i7 920 CPU, Gforce 9500 GT Graphics Card. I want to uprade the Graphics Card, what would you recommend?

Thanks Sean. My Budget would be 250 Euro or about 300 Dollars. I live in Ireland.The power box is 400w, it also has 6gb RAM.

 

THX to all for help, I will get a R9 280x Graphics Card. Should I get a 750w power supply and should I upgrade the RAM? (How much RAM)

We need to know your budget, we don't know if you can buy an R9 295X2 or just a 265/750 Ti. Also a location would be more helpful so that people can correctly give you prices.

I have found this, MSI AMD Radeon R9 280X GAMING 3G TwinFrozr (3072 MB) (V277-053R) Graphics Card, it is new and unused. The price is 200 euro, should I buy this or keep looking? THX Sean.

Sounds good.

 

My power supply is 400w

Odds are you'll need a new one as a i7 + 280x will be pushing it to the limit a bit, and most 400w don't have the 6+8 or dual 8 pins required for 280x cards.

only if you max it out when doing stuff, otherwise no.
