Hello! Let me get straight to it:
My current system specs are:
FX 4100 - 560ti - 1TB Samsung HDD - Cheap Asus motherboard - 8GB Cheap ram (Might be beginning to fail...)
As you can see, the specs are not stellar. I have come to the conclusion that I need a upgrade, on at least two of the parts (notably being the CPU & HDD which is beginning to slow, that might just be a effect of the ram though.), I have around ~£350 which is equivalent to ~$475 give or take. I am looking for at the least a new CPU, but this raises the question, stick with the AM3+ and go for the 8350 and save getting a new Mobo (Even though mine is cheap), or get a i5/i7 with a decent motherboard and a slightly worse HDD and vice verca, I don't know what is the best. I have been getting some BSOD's due to Caching and RAM errors, but they have stopped... For the price I said above, what would be the best course of action for making this a good gaming pc.
TLDR; I got £350 to spend, what parts should I get?
