So I am looking to upgrade my gaming rig for better performance. The Parts I have were a x-mas present and do not perform as well as I would like. Im looking to upgrade either the GPU or CPU/MBoard.
Current Specs
AMD FX 6100
Asus M5A88-M Motherboard
GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB
8GB GSkill Ripjaws X 1600Mhz
The sales rep where the parts were bought chose the CPU. And I do see how sucky that CPU is.....Moving on.
So my question is what would get me the better performance boost?
A new CPU, in which case I am looking at a Core i7-3820
Or a stronger GPU, like the GTX680 or Radeon HD 7950
At the current time I can only afford one or the other. Any Help would be great. And yes I have learned my lesson about AMD.
