Hello,
Currently I have about 350$, looking to purchase an upgrade for myself for my birthday.
I currently have a GTX 560Ti, a AMD Phenom 955 Black Edition Quad Core CPU 3.22Ghz, and a 1TB WD Black SATA HDD & My motherboard is GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3 AMD 970/SB950 AM3+ FX ATX.
Now, I am wondering what I could purchase within my budget to get the most performance increase possible.
I was looking at the MSI GTX 660 OC, which is about 200/220.
I was also looking at the AMD FX-6350 Vishera 3.9GHz Socket AM3+ which is only about 140.
I also understand that my current system bottle neck is my HDD, that a solid state would help, but with the size of games climbing every few months it seems, I really didn't want to shell out for a small one (anything less than 200GB I think is a waste pretty much).
So, what would be the best place to put my money to increase performance on my machine.
Cheers
P.s. types of games would include, but not limited to:
Current MMO type games (Marvel, FF14 2.0, etc)
FPS Types of Games (CS:GO, Firefall, etc)
MOBA types of game (Smite)
Single Player Games (Deadpool, Van Helsing, Resident Evil 6, etc)
