I plan on upgrading my computer, My current specs are

CPU: Amd a6 5400k 3.6ghz (overclocked to 4.2ghz) with Stock cooler
Ram: 1x4GB Corsair 1600mhz (CM3B4G1C1600L11) 1x4GB Patriot (PSD34G160081)
Gpu: 1gb shared HD7450D (IGPU) Core 760mhz Memory:800mhz
Hdd: Seagate ST500M002 Barracuda 500GB 7200rpm
Motherboard: Asus A55BM-USB3

Budget 200-250 Max

Im not sure it is worth upgrading my cpu,but I definitely want to upgrade my graphics card
My plan is to get a Gtx 750ti and mabey a athlon x4 860k or an ssd.Does anyone else have any ideas

If i bought a 60gb ssd and just had windows (no games) will i still improve gaming performance

Buying that processor will add very little performance.
If you have a 64 bit operating system I would get anouther stick of the same memory, and just add the video card
Just the video card would help your gaming performance big time compaired to what you have..

I have a micro-atx motherboard so I only have two ram slots, when you say add a stick do you mean for me get more ram or have dual channel. Do you think i could get away with not upgrading cpu and still be able to play Gta v.

Thanks
