Recently my old motherboard and processor died so I had to replace them and now I am curious what I should upgrade next. I know my graphics card is quite old but it does still play the games I am interested in. I am only looking to spend $150-200 dollars and then Around this time next year I would be able to spend another $200.

Current Specs:
MSI 970a-G43
FX 6300
G.Skill Ripjaws Series 1600 4gb (2x2)
Sapphire Radeon 4850 512mb
Western Digital 7200rpm
Antec NeoPower 650w

I am trying to move forward with purchasing an R9 270 but with the demand for them recently I watched the price jump significantly in a 4 day span. Just making sure I wouldn't get a bigger bang for my buck by getting an SSD and 4 more gigs of ram now and then a video card next year.
