A budget woulda helped a hella lot more than giving us your proc and PSU...

As I will be playing shit out of BF4 im looking for an AMD card.

Im limited to Phenom II X2 550 3.1ghz and this PSU http://www.fsp-europe.com/professional/fsp500_60apn_85plus.php , so what would be the best card for this?

270X or 280X mantle support will help a ton. Or get a cheap 7970

i9 25.6 GHz with NeuronThreading, 256gb 6000 MHz RAM, GTX 990 OC 3024MHz 12gb, Skeletal X99 motherboard, 1 Petabyte SSD, Fractal Design Humaniod R1 Case, Herbivore 10,000W PSU, Noctua NF16 LP Derma Cooler.

Probably the only Star Citizen player who is planning on a career in Journalism instead of piracy, mining, trading, exploration, military, station management, etc.

Generation 0: The first time you see this add 1 to the number and copy it into your sig. Consider it a social experiment.

Assuming Mantle takes off and actually helps a significant amount.

what card you run now? better upgrade the cpu first couse the performance increase with a new card will be small.

It might not in other games, but AMD made sure they had at least one big title support it. That title is BF4 so I think that it will help out tons

About 300$ , also im from EU so prices here are significantly higher.

If you're in the EU, don't use dollars, use euros.

Where in Europe are you?
