To get straight to the point. I am looking for an upgrade for my Graphics card... but unsure where to go for it. It's an old graphics card and a lot of things are an upgrade but my main question is; AMD's new APU + A radeon GPU = better than GTX 760 with AMD's APU? I won't be purchasing an Intel CPU as I think they are too expensive but my price range for a MOBO and CPU is £150 so feel free to recommend anything. My GPU budget is £250.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: This week (Starting tomorrow) BUDGET RANGE: £250
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming. I play loads of different games and I wouldn't mind recording all/most of my games. My most played at the moment are Borderlands 2, Path of Exile, Dark Souls.
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: NVIDIA 9500GT & iCute 650W
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: Looking to Purchase a new CPU, MoBo, and I have 8gb hyperX 1600 memory ready for install.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: I guess Ebuyer.com and Scan.co.uk but I don't mind much. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: United Kingdom
PARTS PREFERENCES: N/A
OVERCLOCKING: Yes (If ever needed) SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe later down the line.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: For now it's 1280x1024 but will be upgrading it soon to most likely 1920x1080.
My thoughts and ideas on what I want -
CPU -
AMD A8 6600K Black Edition, 100W, FM2, 4MB cache, 4300MHZ
