So i've been thinking of upgrading my gpu (ive got a Radeon 7850 hd with 2gb of gddr5) and ive came across this link - http://www.umart.com.au/umart1/pro/Products-details.phtml?id=10&bid=6&id2=185&sid=186132 - its much cheaper than most of the things that i could find in australia -.-
I edit a lot and some gaming, is this a good idea to get this new gpu?
you would be getting better performance if you instead bought a second 7000 series card to suppliment the performance of your current 7850, but if you cannot afford the wattage hit go with the R9 280.

If you join up on OCAU forums - after 60 days you can buy/trade parts. There is a shit load of 7970's, 280's, 290's for dirt cheap at the moment. Just yesterday there was a 7970 for 150. Its a good community so very little chance of shit being dodgy.
