Generally speaking yes. But it depends on which games are you playing, which resolution, what is the specification of the new rig? How much does it cost?

The 7990 is a dual GPU card and has plenty of performance. If heat and noise doesn't bother you and the price reasonable then why not. Also it might be better value for money to consider one of the follow cards: GTX 970, GTX 690, GTX 780Ti, GTX 980, R9 290x etc.

Wow, I wish I noticed this before. OP has all mechanical HDDs.

An SSD would vastly improve boot time. Windows is going to boot slower the moment you start installing drivers because those need to get loaded on boot as well and they're a lot of small files, something HDDs don't do well.

For responsiveness, an SSD will do the OP wonders because rotational media drives are dead slow in comparison. For gaming, that hardware is still adequate, maybe not optimal, but adequate, so a GPU would also have a significant improvement.

270 euro seems like an OK price. It's a very powerful card so it should play games easily. Invest well in the other components too. You mentioned earlier wanting an 8-core AMD. If your budget permits look into an i5 or i7 Haswell.

Nvidia isn't responsible for the card failing. The cards are manufactured by third party companies.

I've had many Nvidia and ATI / AMD cards fail. That's what the warranty is for.

plus i think nvidia is just a price tag product

Oh really? That's what this discussion has been reduced to? I would hardly call that a mature and well thought out statement. Unsubbed before I say something unkind. :shadedshu:

I have just reported you again......
