My current build is running a AMD A6-5400K 3.60 GHz, and a 7750, I have around £100-£150 to spend on an upgrade, I play games like Counter Strike, runs at around 70-100 FPS on low/medium settings, and minecraft at around 500, but can't record minecraft at 60 FPS, I'd appreciate it if yous could leave some suggestions of possible upgrades that'll benefit my PC for gaming.

Well, Higher FPS, that's for sure. A 12-core CPU with R7 graphics and exclusive features like AMD TrueAudio technology4 for immersive audio, it can take on Battlefield 4.

It's not really a 12 core cpu. It's a quad core cpu and it's way over his budget.




Zestaah, the best thing you could do right now is get an Athlon x4 750k or 760k.

But I recommend spending £17 more and getting the GTX750ti if you can.

You could sell your A6 and 7750 and get some of your money back, and then maybe add another 4GB of RAM or get more storage if you need.
