280 is best bang for buck, more numbers = more better :D

Posted

Hey guys I have an FX 8320 and then I ordered two graphics cards. I ordered thefirst one, then thought about it and it was too late to cancell the order. I ordered an R9 280 first. It was 200. But then I thought, I'm not much of a PC gamer so how about I save a little money and get the 270 which was 146. So I guess my question is this, for someone who doesn't do a whole lot of gaming, which GPU should I keep? Part of me says to keep the 280 so I won't have to upgrade so soon, but then the other part of me says that I should just stick with the 270 because I don't game that much. What do you guys think?
