The GPU in my present PC built around 5yrs ago is starting to show signs of degeneration while playing Elite Dangerous Horizons. Due to budget restrictions I would like to keep as much of my present PC as possible. I originally thought of upgrading the GPU to a http://www.ebuyer.com/762683-palit-geforce-gtx-1050ti-4gb-gddr5-dual-link-dvi-hdmi-displayport-graphics-ne5105t018g1-1070f but then found that it would bottleneck the CPU. If I bought the following Motherboard and Processor http://www.ebuyer.com/746072-gigabyte-ga-990x-gaming-sli-socket-am3-7-1-channel-atx-motherboard-ga-990x-gaming-sli

Solution
You'd be better off buying a g4650 CPU and a b250 motherboard. Than that 8320. Or waiting a bit for ryzen (initial release is Thursday) until Thursday there isn't an interesting amd processor in the market
