Hi,

I'm building new PC. So I am in a crossroad should i keep my Phenom x4 925 and try to OC it thou i never OCed before and buy 770 GTX for the money (will it bottleneck) or should i get new CPU FX-8320 and buy cheaper 760 GTX? I eventually plan getting steamroller if they come for AM3+ sockets....

I already bought Asrock 990fx EXTREME 3, 2x4GB Kingston Hyperx Beast 1600Mhz, OCZ Fatal1ty 750w and Zalman z11 plus case.
