Graphics Card upgrade advice

Go to solution Solved by don_svetlio,

270X is 8% faster than the 7870 which is 20% faster than the 265 and that's a good 15% faster than the 750 TI
 

Hello guys, I would just like some advice or tips on upgrading my graphics card, my set-up is an a10-5800k, 2 x 4b 1333mhz ram, sapphire 6670 and a 600w power supply, i was choosing to upgrade between these cards, Sapphire HD7870, Sapphire Dual X R7 265, Gigabyte Radeon R9 270x Windforce, these cards are 2nd hand though, or should I buy a new Palit Gtx 750ti? your advice is greatly appreciated :)

thanks for the reply guys, 270x it is then :) should i get a better psu though? worried my psu might not be up for the job

What model PSU is it? 

As long as its of decent quality, it should be fine, the amount of power is more than enough.

270X uses 160-ish watts stock and 180-190W OCed. As long as your PSU has at least 400W on the +12V Rail I wouldn't worry.
