So as title says
 
What are you doing with your PC?

If gaming@1080p, I'd suggest either an OC in the 4.3/4.5GHz range or an upgrade to a FX6300/FX6350.
 
Lately after my ps3 died i use my pc for gaming through my lg hd 42 tv. I am a high quality graphics enthusiast though. What would benefit me change it?
 
I have already this system. Lasy week a upgrade the gpu and psu and added a stick of ram. I can afford let's say a 200 euro upgrade again
 
If you're gaming @ 1080p and like turning up graphical settings, I'd sell the 270x and get, at minimum, a 280x.

You're going to be a bit CPU-limited at that point, but I would still upgrade the GPU first. Depending on how much you get for the 270x, you may be able to also grab an fx6300 or fx8320, otherwise, just save for a month and do that upgrade next.
 
That 270X is going to struggle a little to push ultra at 1080p/60fps, especially in the next wave of games.

Is there any way you could get your money back for it to have a larger budget for a GPU?
 
What games are you playing? Are they running slow?

I would think you could play most things fairly well at medium level graphics or high at 1280x720. A decent OC should give you some extra performance.

Definitely would have been better to come here before you started buying upgrades.
 
He said he's playing on his tv, so I assumed 1080p. I don't think the 270x is going to cut it :(
 
Mmmm.280 i think is a bit expensive.the r9 270x cost me around 190euros.The game i play the most and i like the most is 3d person action games.Watch dogs,assasin's creed....So if i add another 270x and crossfire them ??No benefit.I have future plans for a 8core amd fx but in the near future.
