So I Have A Fx 4300 Its A Speed Demon And I Love It I Cant Go Intel I Have About 250$ in My Pocket To Spare Should I get The 660, 660 TI, 760, or 770? Im Upgrading From A Radeon Hd 7770 It Preforms Ok But Im Looking To Get A More Playable Fps i Can Run Bf3 at 40 Fps On Medium Ive Heard That The Best To Pair With This Would Be A 650 TI but That Inst Much Better Than What I Have Now People Usally Underestimate This Card By Recommending Low End Cards Even Lower Than The 7770 But Ive Seen It Preform With All Of Those Cards. I Dont Want To Get A 770 And Have It Preform Like A 660 Because Of Bottlenecking Or Anything Of That Sort And I Dont Do Overclocking..... I Accidently Caught Something On Fire But The Past Is The Past.
PS:
I Like To Play Games Like ARMA And Dayz Standalone Im Looking To Get Playable Fps i Dont Mind Playing At Normal I Dont Really Like Playing At High Settings In ARMA Games i also play some fallout and skyrim i was also looking into a game called counter strike and rust i dont know much about those but could those cards get playable fps in those games?

Best solution
The best upgrade is to get a R9 270 ( non X ) currently selling at 145 Bucks and overclock it in addition to maybe a FX 6300 ( selling for 110 Dollars ) That will provide as a good way to kick back life into your rig without seeing the effects of bottlenecking and then in the future u might want to consider a better card . Or wait a couple of weeks till the new price reduction takes effect then get the 8320E for 145 Bucks and the R9 270X which might cost you around 300 bucks but will be a very good improvement over what you have currently.

I'd seriously upgrade that CPU as it will bottleneck anything above a GTX 660 which is bad by todays standards.Not To Sound Like A Prick But Most Intel Users Will Look Down Upon Amd Cpu's Im Not Saying You Are But Ive Talked To A Few People Who Say They Are The Master Cpu's I Would Like To Go Intel But Thats Not An Option For Me.

I'm an AMD guy, but he's right. The FX 4300 really isn't that good. He'd be better served by a 6300 or 8320

Then get the 660Ti or the R9 270X ( Whichever is cheaper and then by christmas add a 8320 )Thank You So Much Lol I Will Defineatley Look Into That Will A 600 watt PSU Be Sufficient? Also will i need to buy thermal paste?
You'll need a 550W PSU from XFX and thermal paste only if you get a good aftermarket cooler

Lol Ill Just Use The Cooler Than Came With It And This May Be A Very Stupid Question But i wont have to downgrade my psu to a 550W right? It Should Work Fine With The 600W And I Just Ordered The Cpu.

I would suggest replacing that PSU before getting a new card . You'll get more or less more frames as the processor is a little bit stronger but just don't expect the FPS to go up by 20% , max is 5-10%What PSU do You Suggest I Get? I Was Thinking About 750W But Could I Cut Corners And Leave That 600W Until I Save Up Enough For Another Upgrade?

For Dedicated GPUs I wouldn't recommend the stock PSUs as it can blow up your PC and maybe set your house on fire.
A cheap alternative is this PSU which will do the trick if you don't oc http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100b1050...

I actually wasn't recommending intel since you already have an AMD motherboard, but I didn't say that in my post, sorry.
all you need really is an FX 6300 or even better a fx 8320 and you will be set.
I'd get the most powerful card you can buy for your money during Christmas, then upgrade the cpu when you can.
