Hey guys,
I do a fair amount of PC gaming, and I figured with newer and higher end games coming out each year, it was time for an upgrade to be able to run everything high and get a steady frame rate again.
Right now my parts are,
GPU: Radeon 6870
CPU: Phenom II X4 955
I want to upgrade to a Nvidia 780 card and an i5, but only have enough money to do one upgrade now. I understand my computer will be bottle necked heavily this way, that's why I'll quickly try to get the second upgrade but I'm not sure how long that will take. To get the highest performance in games and other general usage for the time being, which should I make an upgrade to first? Graphics Card or CPU?
Thanks, and have a good one!
