Hey, I want to upgrade my HD 7770 and I have a budget of 200€.

I have seen a few, but I'm not sure what's better:

Sapphire HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB - http://www.pixmania.pt/placa-grafica/sapphire-technology-radeon-hd-7870-ghz-edition-2-gb-gddr5-pci-express-3-0-11199-16-20g/20902832-a.html

 

Gigabyte GTX 660 OC 2GB - http://www.pixmania.pt/placa-grafica/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-660-oc-2-gb-gddr5-pci-express-3-0-gv-n660oc-2gd/18493522-a.html

 

Sapphire R9 270X OC with boost 2GB - http://www.pixmania.pt/placa-grafica/sapphire-technology-r9-270x-oc-com-boost-2-gb-gddr5-pci-express-placa-grafica/21776043-a.html

 

Feel free to recommend another one, even if it goes a bit higher than 200€ (230€ or something), thanks! 

 

PS: My CPU is an AMD FX-6300 and I have 8GB of RAM.

I would go with the Sapphire R9 270X.

 

I agree gtx 760, 7770 or r9 270 if you can afford. It's up to you m8. The 6300 would have a minor bottleneck with the cards. Nice choice :')

The 7870 GHz Edition is an overclocked 7870. The R9 270X is an overclocked 7870. All systems go.

270, 270x and 7870 / 7870 ghz are same cards, so id say 7870 ghz and overclock the memory frequency

270 and 270x are exactly the same minus some clock speed, don't get the 270x as it's more expensive.

Thanks guys, just one more question, do I need to upgrade my PSU for any of those cards? I have a Corsair CX600.

Not fantastic, but it'll survive a good deal of stress.

I don't think the 6300 will hold back that kind of GPU all that much considering how well the X4 750k does. Also I don't think anyone should buy a GTX 270 at this point. The technologies you get with newer cards are far more beneficial

That's plenty enough.

Either the r9 or the 7870. I have the sapphire 7870 gigahertz edition and it is a sweet little card.

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.

My huge recommendation is to get a pny gtx 660 ti, it is $215 (probably similar euros) and the 660 to is great. I have their 660 because that was my very maximum price, and it is working great.
