Hello guys,
For the last couple of months I've been trying to take a decision whether to upgrade my CPU or my GPU.
My current CPU is AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE (@3.6 GHz) and my GPU is MSI Radeon HD 6950 Twin FrozR II (2GB).
I wish I could upgrade both the CPU and the GPU but my max budget is £250.
I was thinking to either buy a cheap-ish Z77 MoBo + Core I5 3570K CPU = £250
or find a second hand GTX 670 or GTX 660Ti for roughly the same price.
I'm only interested in getting some extra frames in the games I play or plan to play - BF3, Skyrim, Arma III Alpha, FarCry 3, the upcoming "Metro: Last Light" and similar.
Please tell me what do you think is better to upgrade - my CPU or GPU?
