Ok guys please let me know what I can do to improve my pc. Here are my specs:

ASUS M5A97 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5
AMD Phenom II X4 975 Black Edition Deneb 3.6GHz Quad-Core
WD Caviar Black 2 TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache
SanDisk Extreme SDSSDX-120G-G25 2.5" 120GB
8GB of RAM

Or just get another 7870 and crossfire them. You're gonna get a performance between r9 280x and r9 290.
You could also get an FX-8320 if your mobo supports it and then overclock it.

This sounds like really good... I could get another 7870 but i'll have to upgrade my psu.
I've been considering an FX-8350...but i dont think i need 8 core for gaming.
thanks a lot for your help

You need a 750w psu for hd 7870 crossfire but get a quality one ;)
And don't buy an FX-8350. Why would you pay 50 dollars more for 500 mhz higher clock, when you can just overclock it?

No, but i think it looks better having two identical :D
But if it's cheaper, get the xfx one. Just be sure to overclock them to identical speeds, because you don't want one to wait for another ;)

actually the Gigabyte version has the best cooler of the 7870's, so if it fits in your case, i would buy it. And no problem, i was just joking :p

That wasn't obvious. You also have to say what settings u want to run your games on. There is a big difference running a game on low 720 then it is all max 4k you know
