I am a newer PC convert and put together my build just about a year ago. Gradually I have upgraded some pieces when it was obvious, like adding a video card to the apu build and adding more ram. I just am at a loss of what I should upgrade next to see a decent performance bump.

Currently I am deciding between aiming for the better card like a 280x, or pulling the cpu and motherboard for an i5.

Mostly it gets used for League of Legends, some steam games, and basic video and photo editing.

CPU AMD A10-5800K 3.8GHz Quad-Core
CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper T4
Memory Silicon Power Xpower 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400
Video Card Asus Radeon R7 260X 2GB
Case Rosewill Line-M MicroATX Mini Tower
Power Supply Thermaltake 500W ATX12V

Thanks in advance.

I would say do a pull and go down the intel road. You can get a good upgrade for around 300-350 bucks, and then buy an even better gpu.
