I currently have an R7 360, just thinking to upgrade it to a R7 370 4GB. Worth saving up for something a bit better? I'm not looking to max out games, just enough to have a decent experience at 1080p.

 

Things to consider: I only have a CX430 PSU & I'm running an AMD X4 860k @4.5Ghz

save up, buy a better gpu, then a better cpu, then a better psu

 

one by one `-`

 

edit: if you insist on upgrading you gpu now, maybe a 750Ti or 950

i dont recommend amd cards for weaker processors because they have higher cpu overhead

and 750ti and 950 use less wattage anyway

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

750 ti is a sidegrade at best. It's the same or worse than a 360

Save up for a PSU first, then a new GPU
