I currently have this computer : http:// but now I'm upgrading parts of my setup.

The parts I'm upgrading aren't shown in the pcpartpicker (except the CPU is in there but I'm not purchasing a new one)

I have around $650 to work with and I was wondering if the upgrade im picking out now ( http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Z7dHgs ) would be bottlenecked by my CPU (AMD A10-5700 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor).

Thanks and if theres anything else you guys can tell me about my build or whatever (I'm pretty new to the PCMR) then feel free to tell me below! Thank you for everyone who responds, you guys/girls are the reason why this community is so great. =)

Thanks for your response! So you think this will be able to run games better than my original build, and by how much (estimating of course)?
