So I don't know a lot about computers, but i would like to slowly venture into PC gaming.
I went to the site 'Will My Pc Run It' and looked up games that i would most likely be playing which are Overwatch or a Battlefield game. It says i have the minimum and most of the recommended specs for it, but it says i could use a upgrade to the video card. I currently have a " AMD Radeon (TM) R7 360 Series " and i was wondering whats some decent upgrades from that price range goes up to around $300 I guess. Lower is obviously better but if not than that's fine.
Thanks for help if i'm missing anything which i'm sure i am feel free to let me know and ill answer any questions.

For under $300?

A 480: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

or a 1060: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

13 should give you a lot more insight and bang for your buck upgrade/price wise.

When you get new parts make sure you update your drivers because I learned the hard way and thought I fcked my pc.

If you are serious within this range a rx 480, i wouldn't recommend a 1050/60 as the 480 basically is par to it at this point.

It is a pain in the ass to find one, but a GTX 980 is possible in that range, not new out of the box which is the issue.. You may be able to find a couple reference designs for that range, still a great card to this date.

There are plenty of cards in this range that perform decently, the 480 is one of the best at this point unless you are a nvidia only fan.

Need to know the rest of your specs, as asked above. We will also need to know the make and model of your case for compatibility though, Speccy won't give us this information.
