Should I upgrade my current £400 PC Build ? [Gaming/Simple Video Editing]

Mazur3wxx · Dec 29, 2015

So I have this PC (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/NvjqNG )

AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
Biostar TA970 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
2x Kingston 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1333 Memory
MSI Radeon R7 240 2GB Video Card GDDR3
XFX ProSeries 450W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
500 GB Samsung SSD + 4 TB Black Series HDD (Can't Remember Brand tho)
BitFenix Comrade ATX Mid Tower Case
Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer

As much as I love Gaming and will be doing simple HD/Full HD Video Editing in Vegas soon, I think that this PC build lacks some potential in running the newest games even on Low but I want to run most of the games on High/Very High/Ultra or how you call it, Maximum settings. I know that my weakest part in this build is Graphic Card. Those I need advice as I have another £150 to spend on this PC, should I:

1) Buy Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti or other graphic card + New Power Supply.

2) Buy new processor + graphic card ?

3) Sell my whole build and add a bit more money then buy a completely new build again ?

4) Any other option ?

What about saving more £££ and getting GTX 970 ?

Will the bottleneck be visible in the current games on medium/high setting ? As an alternative which graphic card would you recommend at the current time to go with FX6300 ?

Isn't R9 390 better ? I have looked around internet and it looks like it's a bit cheaper with more VRAM. The GTX 970 has 4GB and R9 390 8GB. I got this setup somewhere at the end of september last year tho I will probably still use it for a while before I get a new processor but firstly I want to get GPU because the current one is so bad that apparently no one is buying it and barely is running any new games on low settings. Just for the future references, which processor would you upgrade to ?

It is a little better , but it demands a lot of power and your PSU won't be able to power it..

But just looking at performance 970 or R9 390 ? I don't mind buying another PSU if needed tho.
