Your link is dead, Could you just post the model or make of it?

And the gpu if its not that great would probably be the better option.. The FX-6300 is best bang for buck gaming CPU.. Unless of course you only care about the IPC then the crappy Failtium is the better option.

^^The guy with the funny face above is right.

Likewise, the GPU is most of the time the bottleneck. I suggest you sell it and get something similar to a 750 Ti which has a great value and performance. Though I'm curious if NVIDIA will release a 950 at a similar price point.

Still you can't go wrong with the 750 Ti.

Cant get a better gpu or cpu really for 150$ other than an 8320 which really wont give any performance boost... unless a given game supports all 8 cores lol and my face isnt funny! lol

Oh nevermind if you sell you 760 for 200$ and have about 350$ total

if you can grab an extra 20 or 30$

Although in this case since you only have a CX500 i would recommend the 770 due to lower power consumption and only about 10-15% less performance at MOST.. But if you want the absolute best perfomance get the 290 and get money for a better psu.
