Alright, so I'm wondering what I should do. Right now I have a pc that I use for some gaming (BF4, GTA5, Minecraft) and I want to upgrade some parts of it. The 3 things that I'm looking to upgrade are the CPU, GPU, and the Storage. The parts in my computer are as follows:

Mobo
GPU
CPU
HDD

Now, first off, what would benefit me most for gaming? Getting a new CPU, getting a 2nd GPU to run in dual SLI mode, or getting a SSD.

This is the CPU I plan on getting. And if the SSD is the best choice, which would you recommend (Looking for about 120 GB within 100$-150$)?

Also, would the fx-8320 run with my Mobo?

And last but not least, is there any CPU that you would recommend to me over the fx 8320 for around ~50$ same price?

Sorry for so many questions, and thank you in advance for any answers.

the 8320 is the best cpu right now for the money and will run if you put the newest bios file on your mb. on the mb vendor web page there a link for cpu/memory support.

the cpu should be upgraded it holding the gpu back. I would use the new cpu and gpu combo for a week or so see if the frame rate goes up. if it running better I would then get an evo or a 840 samasung ssd.

Thanks for your reply. I'll definitely go with a new CPU then. Also, I just found this and I was wondering if it is worth the extra 70$ to get .9 GHz more base power. (And if I do go with the fx-9370, will my computer still be able to handle it?)

Should I go with a fx-8320, or and fx-8350 then? Also, is it difficult to overclock, and do I risk ruining my CPU if I do it? (Thanks for putting up with my relentless questions lol )
