GPU. The Phenom series was awesome. Get a 280x as it is the best at 1080p value.

I would just wait to upgrade your whole system... getting parts for an old system wont help much... if you give me a budget I could try to see what i can get.

There would be a bottleneck if he get's the 280X, heck there is bottleneck even on a 270X. Unless he OC's to minimize that of course. In gaming the CPU get's maxed while the GPU would only hit 82% load.... if you OC. you could maybe get 95% load or maybe even full load.

Yeah, GPU is the way to go. There might be a slight bottleneck but if you upgrade other components in a year or so that bottleneck will be gone. In future, new CPU, mobo, and RAM.
