Hey! So I'm considering upgrading my system, and I'm wondering what component to upgrade. I was wondering whether to upgrade my phenom iix4 processor or my Nvidea Gtx650ti graphics card, or whether to wait for an upcoming release. I'm looking to get something with good cost to performance value. Thanks for your help!

I'm hoping for the next upgrade to my system to hold me over for a couple of years as far as gaming while playing graphics intensive games goes, isn't it better to upgrade one component significantly rather than take both of them a step up? I'm not sure how the parts you listed compare to more expensive things, but I know the FX-8350 is one of the best AMD chips out there for the price. Thoughts?

I did some research on newegg, a 8320 is going for 160 and the 8350 is 200
As far as the graphics card goes, there are so many versions of the 7870 from 200 to 400 I can't figure out which one is the "good" one
Also the 7870 is comparable to the 660, which is just a step up from the 650ti, so does it really give a significant increase in performance? Thanks
Also I can clock my processor up to 4 ghz stable no problem, would this allow me to use the higher end graphics card without a problem?
