What to upgrade, cpu or gpu

snownight7 · Sep 22, 2013

I'm not sure which component I should upgrade. Currently I have an AMD FX-8120 CPU and an NVIDIA Geforce GTX660TI GPU. Which upgrade would give me the most bang for the buck upgrading my CPU or GPU for $350 or should I wait 6 months if their wont be a noticeable difference. I pretty much will use it exclusively for gaming, needs to be an AMD CPU

I'm in a similar situation myself and I've decided to stick with what I have for at least another year. I have an FX 8120 at 4GHz and SLI GTX 470's. I have a slightly beefier GPU setup than you but it's not a great deal more powerful. To upgrade your GPU you will want either a GTX 680, 770, or HD 7970. Anything less wouldn't be worthwhile in my opinion. Really even those cards wouldn't give you a HUGE upgrade. Not worth it yet unless you find yourself unable to run games that you want. As far as your CPU goes... The 8320/8350 is better but in my opinion it's best to wait for steamroller unless you find yourself unable to run games that you want.
