If you have the budget, upgrade your gpu.
Something like a 970 would go extremely well.

That's a nice little system, I like it.

What are you using for storage?

Your specs seem more than fine. IMO if you want to upgrade just wait another year and see what new processors are coming out and work from there..

There's a huge price difference between the 270X and the 970, and the 270X is a pretty capable card, specially the Sapphire edition, looks dope. <3

I know the 270x is a good card, but I had one and found it a bit meh. Upgraded for about £100 to 970 and my face just dropped XD

Id love to but yeah the money is the problem i thought about maybe a R9 280x or maybe 290x and crossfire them

Ive got a 250 hard drive for the boot drive and some programs
a 1TB drive for games
and a 500GB hard drive for media stuff like game recordings and music and videos and what not

its not really something im gonna jump on right now but its what im gonna like head for. tho AMDs cards have been droping in price quite a bit lately i might pick up the r9 280x or 290x and crossfire them with the 270x if it would work fine

Benab3 · Feb 16, 2015

If you are going to crossfire anything, I would just get another 270x

Benab3 :

Yeah just get another 270X if you're that hungry for moar power. There's nothing really worth the money past the 280X if you already have a 270X, it's a pretty capable card.

I was looking last night at some crossfire sets ups with the 270x and i was pretty pleased with the fps gain that i could get i was seeing stuff nearly double (probably a 40 or 45% gain) in fps im sure that would be good for my pc
plus the card i have now the price has dropped quite a bit down so i might just pick another one up

Another thing i noticed on my motherboard that my other PCIe lane is an x4 will that like impact me alot if i get another on of these cards or what?
