But, do you need to upgrade? Maybe get an i7 or a Xeon. In Spain, I can get a 4770 for 160 euros from Amazon, refurbished, pretty sweet if you ask me

I do need to upgrade my graphics card is terrible in all honesty. Also are they good?

You mean the i7s and Xeons? Yes, they are great for rendering and streaming, the extra threads help.

And why is your card bad, is it hot and loud? You could get an aftermarket cooler, like this one:http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/henry-butt/raijintek-morpheus-gpu-cooler-review/ or this one:http://www.prolimatech.com/en/products/detail.asp?id=1672

No its loud hot and the drivers constantly just stop... Also it doesn't play graphics at very high settings. Also with streaming and videoing it puts more pressure on a graphics card.

well i'd recommend waiting for the 1070/polaris equivalent then :)

What do you mean? I was thinking about getting a Geforce GTX 970 Hybrid

 

the 1080 just came out and the 1070 is coming soon, and polaris should also be coming soon, don't buy any of the old cards right now
