    Looking to upgrade!

    I currently have a MSI 7870, and the fan/card is dying(slower frames and frequent framerate drops). I have had it for a little over a year now, my budget is $300 or less(preferably around $250).

    I really have been looking and it seems like the best option is probably a GTX 760. I just noticed they released the R9 280 which is basically a 7950 rebaged(spelling? lol). I think the performance is a little better and the card is $30-$50($280-$300) more expensive than a GTX 760($240-$260)Does anyone else have any other options that I may have overlooked?

    My current specs are 4670k I5(stock clock), 8 GB 1600 Mhz Corsair Sport(4x2), MSI Z87-GD65, 600w Corsair Builder, all in a rosewill challenger. (no ssd)
