I have a AMD A10 7700k (OC to 4Ghz)
Running Corsair low profile RAM (1600, trying to stable OC to 1866)
Arctic cooler A11 - keeps CPU 20 under margin in Prime95
MOBO - GA-F2A88XM-D3H

Thinking of improving graphics with either crossfire the iGPU (OC to 900hz) with R7 250 (~£65) with possibility of buying new much higher speed ram (2400 at ~£60)

Or try to find a stable RAM speed of 1866 and getting a dedicated GPU - GTX 750ti (~£100)

These are the MSI versions since they seem best value:

R7 250 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-Graphic-128-Bit-DL-DVI-PCI-E/dp/B00FSD4ZAA
GTX750i - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00I5ZYI5A

Please let me know your thoughts for either upgrade path - or any better suggestions (budget ~£100)

Thanks

i would go for the 750ti, it will be more powerful than the crossfire as the r7 250 gets about half as much fps as the 750ti. Crossfire also doesnt work in many games so you would probably have to disable a card running only one 250 which isn't great.
