Hi,

I'm from the Philippines, and would like suggestions from you guys,

My current pc specs are :

CPU : Intel® Core™2 Quad Q9550

Motherboard : ASRock G41C-GS

Ram : 8GB 1333Mhz

GPU : MSI Geforce GT 630

450watts psu, bitfenix prodigy M casing, and that's about all the important parts.

I'm looking for suggestions to buy first, because i roughly have $200.00 (Around Php 9,000.00)

Options are

MSI B85M + i3 4160 which will cost me $200 (Php 9,300.00)

OR

MSI GTX 750 TI Twin frozr OC $185 (Php 8,200.00)

PC will be used as casual gaming, as for now, i'm just playing counter strike global offensive, dota 2, and other steam games.

Would like to play my games on 1080p.

Which one and why?

Thank you so much! Sorry this was long, and my first post too.
