What should I upgrade for around 250$ for better frames and graphics

MABK__ · Dec 25, 2015

NOTE I want to at least run on high 60fps on next gen games like Witcher & fallout4. right now I get 45 fps on mix of high and normal
SPECS:

:AMD FX-4130 QUAD CORE PROCESSOR x64 3.80 GHz
:ASUS strix r7 370 4GB (I have a crossfire bridge but no compatible graphics card.. I could buy another card)
:8GB of ram
:corsair 600w power supply

Thanks for suggestions

It looks like your processor is pretty outdated so for general system stability and less bottlenecking you could upgrade that. I'm not too sure on the pricing of AMD CPUs but it's probably easy to pick up a decent one for that price.
Your graphics card is kind of entry level, so for the biggest increase an upgrade to that would help, just again, make sure there are no bottlenecks.

What processor would give me the most bang for my buck and do you think I should get another r7 370 4gb and have a crossfire?

Cause if my processor is outdated and I still get 45 fps on high mixed with medium settings on fallout 4 I'm pretty sure when I get a new processor & crossfire With both cards I would easily be able to hit 60fps on high maybe 45-50 on ultra. But do most games nowadays support crossfire? ,indie titles don't matter to me because I can run ultra on most.

Crossfiring cards that low is a poor choice. Try to sell that one on craiglist/ebay.

I'd go with a new Vishera 6300. There is a chance you'll need a BIOS update for it but it will definitely be a big help, and it is very reasonably priced at $109 on Newegg, may be able to get it cheaper elsewhere.

I also agree with Jerdle on not crossfireing those. Sell it and pickup 380X. The two he picked are exactly what I would have suggested. Good Luck!

I believe Fallout 4 at least does support SLI/Crossfire so you should be fine. If you're running dual monitors then I could recommend a second card.

That's false.

Okay so a processor and a graphics card. can anyone recommend the best graphics cards for around 200-250 that will be able to run 60fps high and 35-50 on ultra? Maybe one I can crossfire with my r7 370 4gb to get it to ultra 60fps but if no one can find a crossfire compatible one with my r7 370 4gb it's all good. I also have a graphics card I can sell for around 80-120$ it can run last gen on ultra and low to medium on current gen.

I found a AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 6-Core Processor Black Edition for 100$ should I get that?

I don't recommend crossfire with that card. And crossfire will only work with other r7 370 chipset cards anyway. What I DO recommend is getting a a 6300 and r9 380x/r9 390 and selling your old card to make some money. If you sell BOTH of your cards you can afford perhaps a 8350 and a r9 390. Those are probably your best options right now.
