Ok, so I am looking to upgrade my pc a bit. I am having to turn graphic settings down to low/med on games like, the witcher 3, arkham knight, and even the stalker series. I need some experienced opinions on what to upgrade. Thinking about switching to Intel, is it worth it?? My build..
MB- ASUS|M5A99FX PRO R2.0 990FX AM3
Processor- AMD|6-CORE FX-6300 3.5G 8M R
GPU- MSI GeForce GTX 960 GTX 960 2GD5T OC 2GB
RAM- 4Gx2|G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL

I see GTX 960 sell for 100-150$ on eBay all the time, ram probably another 40$, motherboard 100$, CPU 40$. so assuming 100+40+100+40 ~280$ total
sell those and add 4-500 , you get 600-700 to spend. you could go;
