So I currently have my rig right here:

CPU: AMD X4 645

RAM: 6GB

GPU: EVGA GTX 750ti (http://tinyurl.com/q66jl7s)

PSU: 460w

I was going graphics card shopping on Craigslist and I stumbled upon an MSI R9 280 (http://tinyurl.com/o54alrm) for cheap. I asked the seller how much the price for the card was and he said it was $100. I'm trying to see if we can trade graphics cards but if not I need to know if it's a steal or if I should just keep my current card. Craigslist offer ( http://tinyurl.com/qcx7qrf ).

i had and sold a r9 280 purely only to upgrade the only thing i ever got frustrated with were amd drivers but i LOVE MSI features and now my gtx 970 is MSI for the love of their cool, quiet and well preforming software and easy and beneficial software

<p>Wish I could have this already!! : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qTLRjX

i feel your pain with amd drivers xD

 

i spent way too much time trying to get vsync working on my HD 5770 back in the day. (if vsync worked it probably wouldnt have fallen apart, and i'd probably still be using it today xD)

its too early to tell.

 

people who will be using DX12 will probably be upgrading before DX12 becomes relevant tho, meaning that the *not all that well tested* performance issues arent very relevant either.
