Well my specs are,

- AMD FX 6300 3.5 Ghz
- 8 GB RAM
- ASUS GTX 760 2 GB GDDR5
- 1 TB HDD
- Hyper 212 EVO aftermarket cooler

I'm wanting to play gaming on high/ultra at 60 FPS but even on games like Sims 4 or NBA 2K15 I can hardly play on max without getting any kind of stutter. Which part would make the biggest upgrade? I was thinking of putting in a 8320 processor but im not sure if that would increase my fps too much or i was thinking of putting in another 760 for SLi support or SSD so what do you guys suggest?

Replace both your CPU with a Overclock I5-4690K or better and move to a 970 GTX. A 760 GTX SLI will work but 1 high end card triumphs a sli in the long run of the system especially when new games come out with funky dual GPU support. Look at the specs for upcoming games and you will understand why I suggest this, AMD CPU's will not be able to hold 60+FPS in these new titles especially when multilayer aspects are involved. AMD are good budget CPU's that will run Ultra in a spiky but perfectly playable fashion.

Now if more titles adopt the 30 FPS lockdown that UBISoft suggests the industry is adopting then it is a different ball game, just about any $100+ CPU and $150 GPU combo will do that.

Well, before you jump to a new CPU line, what motherboard do you have and what is your budget?

If you have a decent motherboard, snag a 8320 or 8350. And I'm very surprised you can't max out the desired games. They aren't very demanding.

Would an extra 760 help a lot? I overclocked my current 6300 to 4.3 ghz and the temps are good with my stock cooler so im not sure if its the processor or not
