Hi, I will make this short. This custom computer is approx 1 year old. I need your help to decide how and what to upgrade. This build was initially a budget build and what I could afford at that time.

CPU: A10 5800k (never overclocked)
GPU: Radeon 1GB 6870 (was free)
RAM: patriot viper xtreme 8gb (2x4gb)1866
MOBO: msi a55m-e33
CPU cooler: CM evo
Hard disk: western digital blue 1tb
PSU: Cooler master extreme 2 725w
Currently running dual monitors, 2x Viewsonic vx2260wm
CASE: NZXT lexa S

PC use: mainly for FPS gaming like counter-strike: GO and league of legends. I plan on playing games like Titanfall in the futurem also COD:ghost/Battlefield 4. When ever I game, I never go full 1080p or ultra high settings, maximum would be medium-high. I would rather have high FPS than appearance.

current fps on csgo (lowest settings): 150-200 fps
looking for 250-300 fps

I currently have a job but its not that great. Have about 200$ in cash and am willing to add $200-300 more.

If you require more information, please let me know.

Thank you for your time, and please help me upgrade my computer.

If you're looking for an immediate difference in gaming performance you would need to upgrade the GPU first. I would get a GTX 760 or a R9 280. Then later on I'd upgrade to an i5 as they have the lead in most games due to their strong single threaded performance.
