As of right now this is my PC:
CPU: Fx-8320 OC 4.0ghz
RAM: 8 gb
GPU: R9 285
So this is my problem. I'm not satisfied with my gaming performance right now and have considered upgrading. The problem is my CPU. Would it be more worth it to get and i5 6500 (including MOBO and RAM for $300) or to get an RX 480 for $200? I can't afford both. While I know my CPU won't literally bottleneck the GPU, it will cause low minimum frame rates and poor performance in CPU demanding titles.
