Hi Team,

I am wondering if spending $300-$500 on a new graphics card is worth it or should I finally bite the bullet and move across to the evil (but now vastly superior) Intel from my beloved AMD.

Current components

AMD Phenomenon II X4 (stock cooling not O.C)
2 x 8 GB G. Skill DDR3
MSI R5830 (software O.C)
Intel SSD 60GB (OS boot)
1TB WD black (everything else)
2 spare PCIe slots and 2 spare RAM slots

I am a massive Total War fan and with the new game Rome 2 coming out in September I am ideally wanting to optimize the rig for this...

Any questions comments concerns suggestions are very much appreciated..

Cheers
