Hey. I am looking to upgrade one of two components: CPU and GPU. My current CPU is a FX 6300 3.5 GHz, and my current GPU is a XFX Double D R9 270x. If I upgrade my CPU: I will get a FX 8350. If I upgrade my GPU, I will get a GTX 770. Which one should I upgrade?
 
A 770 will be a fairly minor upgrade over a 270x, really not worth it. I'd go for the 8350 since that will give you a decent clock speed boost, or go for 270x CF. It really depends what is holding you back, if you are CPU limited get the CPU upgrade, if you are graphics limited get a GPU upgrade. Really not up to us to decide for you.

My issue is that I do not know what could hold me back, so that is why I ask. GPU for those heavy graphical games, or CPU for AI complexive games? I honestly can't decide.
