I'm looking to upgrade either my GPU or CPU, but I would like some advice as to which would give the greater performance boost.
Current setup:
GPU: Radeon R9 270X 2GB
CPU: AMD FX-6300
MB: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P
So, what upgrade would give the biggest performance boost? My budget is around what the GTX 960 2GB costs, so naturally this is the card I am currently considering buying, but I have a few concerns:
1. Would this give rise to any bottlenecking regarding the CPU?
2. Is the performance boost so marginal that I should save up some more and buy a more expensive card?
3. Should I instead upgrade my CPU?
In short I am wondering what you guys think I should upgrade to get the optimal setup given my limited budget...
