I have a AMD Radeon HD 8670D + 6570 Dual Graphics
but im looking to upgrade and wondering would a Radeon R7 250 2GB
be a better upgrade
I'd love an upgrade myself since my CPU, RAM and possibly GPU are roughly between 2-3 years old.
Edit: CPU and RAM possibly 3-4 years

I heard you could run the the AMD Radeon HD 8670D + R7 250 Dual Graphics do you know if thats trueThe R7 250 would not net you any performance benefits. If anything, your current set-up is stronger than a single 250. While I'm not 100% sure, I would guess you need atleast a R9 270 TO SEE ANY KIND OF PERFORMANCE GAIN.
Only thing your system could use, IMHO, is a GPU upgrade, and maybe add a SSD. If you think your CPU is getting a little slow, OC it a little more. A GTX 770 and a SSD for your OS and most frequently used programs/games would bring a lot of life back into that system.
