I have an aging system and am considering an upgrade. I use it for gaming, movies and web browsing. This is what I have:
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0
Memory: 8 Gb
CPU: Athlon II X2 240
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTS 250 Dark Knight
I believe that my mobo will support, for example, an AMD FX 8320 3.5GHZ. That would cost me around $185 here in Sweden. For the same price I could get a Radeon HD7850 1GB.
Which of these two alternatives would give me the biggest overall improvement? Getting both would strain my wallet too much right now.
