Hi I have a question I'm thinking about upgrading my desktop (cpu + video card) currently this is my cpu and video card (fx-6100 and hd 6570) I plan to get one of these options, fx 8120 or fx 8320 and hd 7850, 7870 or r9 270, r9 270x, will be worth upgrading my cpu and video card for some of the options i mentioned, i play games like arma 2, arma 3 dayz stand alone, any help is appreciated thanks.

desktop:

motherboard: asus m5a97 r2.0
ram: 8gb corsair
cpu: fx 6100
vcard: hd 6570
psu: tr2 600w

Yes it will be worth it. You should skip the Bulldozer chips. They really aren't more powerful than a Phenom II.

How much money do you have? If you have enough cash, get the 8320 and then the 270x. If you can't afford that, I suggest you get at least the 8320 and spend the whatever you have left on a GPU.
