I want to upgrade my PC, I regularly play High GPU games and a few games which have a medium-high stress on the CPU; I render videos from time to time and usually am multitasking (more than just emails and web browsing).

  • Current PC:
    AMD-6100
    AMD Radeon HD 7850
    8 GB of Ram
The GPU is the main part i want to upgrade because my GPU isn't as powerful as I need.
I can easily change to Intel or Nivida, if people think its the best thing (also if its best to wait until the new generation or model, I can wait).
For price I have about £750, but it is not required to use the exact price.

If your GPU is the main part, i will suggest you to go with the 7970. For CPU - Intel core i7-3770K along with GA-Z77X-UD5 motherboard. I put these parts only because u put just CPU,GPU,RAM. I take the other parts as no need to be upgraded.

Thanks Blackbird, probably will go with something similar because I was thinking so something like this, just don't need the Optical Drive, PSU, case; so might get a 770 instead.
