1. Which Power Supply do you have? (Be EXACT while naming the company and model)
Huntkey Green Power 550w PSU

2. What is your budget?
10-12k for GPU. Open on the budget for a good PSU.(I know I have to change it.)

3. Which resolution will you game at?
1920x1080

4. What are your current computer specifications?

Intel Core i7 2600k on an Intel DZ68DB
4 gb Corsair 1333mhz Ram x 2
Asus 6670HD 1GB ddr5
Huntkey Green Power 550w PSU
Hitachi 1 TB SATA
Huntkey Case A402


What I have shortlisted:

1. MSI AMD/ATI R7 265 2GD5 OC 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card - MSI : Flipkart.com

2. MSI AMD/ATI R7 260X 2GD5 OC 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card - MSI : Flipkart.com

I am not a heavy gamer at all. I buy FIFA every year.(This year I need to update my rig to run it.) and sometimes I play games that I really want to play.(GTA series, Elder Scrolls) I don't game everyday either. but I need a card that is future proof for FIFA in the upcoming years.

I am not a heavy gamer, will I really be needing an R9 270x? I'd rather spend the extra money on a good PSU.
