Hi, this is my current build that has been fine for 60fps on the games I currently play (bf3 4 cod diablo 3 dieing light)
Asrock extreme 4 mobo
16 gb 1866 crucial vengeance ddr3
Amd 8350 fx
Gigabyte7970 hd windforce
Silverstone 850 psu
My question is, with this build is it economically worth upgrading my gfx card to play fallout 4 at max or close to max?
I will only be playing at 1080p and I won't be over clocking anything.

I wont be changing any other bits of my build (although if anyone sees any glaring flaws pls let me know)

Finally I plan on using the steam link and their new Controller from time to time as well.

Thanks.
 
Hold. Don't buy any new components to play Fallout 4 yet. No one knows what specs will be necessary to play it properly. Hold off until actual gamers have the software in hand and can release performance reviews. Also, there is a very good chance that Fallout 4 will be delayed.

My advice: Wait and see.
 
another few ressons to wait too is amd and nvidia are going to drop faster gpu in first 1/2 of 2016. also newer zen cpu from amd and to wait for the skylake stocking level to get where it needs to be to have the price come down so your not over paying for newer tech.
