I need an advice about upgrading my system or switch to another platform.
Currunt system specs are: Athlon II X3 450 with stock 3.2 GHz, the motherboard is Asrock 890gm pro 3 (AM3 socket), 4 GB 1333 MHz of RAM.
The reason I want an upgrade is that the integrated Radeon HD 4290 can't perform well since I bought a new 24 inch monitor with 1900x1200 resolution.
Is it worth to buy a new GPU like mid-range Radeon HD 7700? I'm affraid that the Radeon 7770 might be bottleneck by this CPU. I use my system mainly for heavy browsing, movies. Games are not my priority. All I want is maximum performance. Platform switching to Intel is also another option I'd consider. What is the right option? Combine an old CPU like Athlon II X3 with the new graphic card or buy Haswell like i5 4430 with integrated graphics like Intel HD 4600?
Excuse my English.
