I need to upgrade my cpu and gpu.

multigame3 · Oct 24, 2014

So i decided to upgrade my gpu from r7 250 xfx core edition to a new gpu and my amd apu a8 6600k to a new apu. My motherboard suprts socket fm2+ and i have one pci-e x16 gen3.0 slot for new gpu. The preoblem is i don't know which gpu to buy and which cpu. My power suply is 500W and i have one 6pin conector. I need help for picking new parts.

Keep the present APU, anything higher will not justify the cost as you aren't using the integrated graphics. Upgrade the GPU to GTX 750 Ti, it'll run on 500W with ease and doesn't have external connectors. What is the budget for GPU upgrade?

Thanks for advice! I thought to buy something like that but i wasn't sure. My budget is 390$.

Anything over GTX 760/ R9 280 will be bottlenecked by the CPU, I'd advise (because of that budget) waiting for GTX 960 to release after some months, it'll probably have lower power consumption and good performance, and will not be bottlenecked as high.

For your budget, you can get.
GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-2GD G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready WindForce 3X 450W Video Card - Newegg.com $289.99
+
EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650 G 80 PLUS GOLD Certified 650W Active PFC ATX12V v2.31/EPS 12V v2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Full Modular PSU 10 Year Warranty -Newegg.com $84.99

You might get upgraded to better CPU and Mobo later. Like Intel i5 4670k with Intel Z97 chipset later.
