with AMD Radeon R7 200 Series

 

would like an upgrade with 600 - 700$ budget, with an aim to play basic MOBA games and MMOs (playing Final Fantasy XIV)

here's benchmark score using FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood Benchmark. struggling with fps, slow loading and lags here and there

 

A friend suggest me to get Sapphire Radeon RX 570 Pulse 4 GB, which i dont mind buying, but isnt it a bit too much?

i would like to buy 256GB SSD as well, which one should I buy?

 

Here's the benchmark score :

Hmm getting a new GPU (RX 470/570/480/580) isn't a bad choice, however you should consider upgrading platform too (Ryzen for example)

that would be pretty strong

If you want to extend the life of that pc, I would recommend another 4gb of ram and a gpu upgrade (like the 570 your friend suggested) the i5 2400 still has some life in it and it should be fine. I would also recommend an pny cs1311 240gb for windows.

any notes on choosing those motherboards?

 

about GPUs, does Gigabyte - Radeon RX 580 8GB Gaming 8G Video Card really worth 40$ from Sapphire Radeon RX 570 Pulse 4 GB. from MOBA and MMO player perspective : any noticable performance?
