If you can extend 1-1.5k more, you might get a gtx 760.

You need to get a higher watt psu too.

a R9 270X is not a big upgrade over 560 ti..
Get a 280 or something similar from nvidia

GTX 760 is not a worthy upgrade over 270X.

^Agreed. A 280 or 770 would be a more noticeable upgrade. But then again, for 1080p, a 270x would do.

depends on the games too. in some games 270x is closer. but in some other games 760 performs better for its price.

R9 280X or a GTX 770 will be a worthy upgrade. Otherwise no reason.

Don't worry, Corsair VX450 will handle them. I have an inferior CX430 handling HD 6950 + A8-3870K. Just don't overclock.

HARDOCP - Power and Temp - ASUS R9 280X DirectCU II TOP Video Card Review <-- see the system wattage with an i7-3770K @ 4.8 Ghz + R9 280X/GTX 770.

You're fine with VX450. Infact your GTX 560 Ti gulps the same or even more amount of power.

^^Thanks

Will go for R9 280X. Won't upgrade PSU for now.

Thinking of getting the same for my PC after a month or so

R9 270X is a good enough but not a great upgrade for a 560 Ti. It is ~50% faster on average which means you will see a difference. I recommend the VTX3D and MSI brand cards for the R9 270X. XFX is good but I do not recommend this brand unless you do not intend to overclock, because XFX often modifies the PCB and puts in inferior quality VRM controllers and circuitry which not only consume more power but also remove the ability to adjust voltages for overclocking (thus limiting the potential). However, if these two things do not bother you, you can go for XFX as well.

dude, this is a month old post, op has most likely already purchased

Exactly.

If you have something to add to a thread, then the date doesn't matter.

Silly bumps are something else entirely.
