Graphics Card Help

Hi guys,

Not too knowledgeable in terms of tech so I'm seeking your knowledge. I intend to use a PC for gaming and work (casual stuff using Word etc nothing intensive). When choosing parts, it was suggested to me to save some money and change my graphics card. Which do you feel is better? I can afford both if that changes anything.

2GB AMD RADEON™ R9 270X

vs

3GB AMD RADEON™ HD7950

 

Thanks guys.

7950. The 270x is just a re branded 7870Ghz edition, which is a tier below the 7950. Plus, the 7950 had more VRAM and will play much better on higher resolutions.
