Hello, looking to upgrade a component on my computer (graphics card or CPU) which is why I need a hand I will list my current setup:

GPU: Geforce gtx 660
CPU: AMD Fx 4100 quad core 3.60ghz
MotherBoard: AsusTek m5A78L-M LX V2

I want to upgrade one of these in order to run current games more efficiently (I realise I'd have to upgrade both but can only do 1 for now) so I'm wondering which one would see the most benefit, I'm willing to spend between £100-£200, some people have recommended getting a new motherboard and a cheap i5 other people have said keep the current motherboard and buy the best AMD one you can that will fit as once you've brought a new motherboard there won't be enough for a good CPU; what would you guys recommend upgrading and is there any specific intel or amd chips I should buy?

Thanks in advanced,

Sonny.

Yeah, unfortunately it would require new motherboard and ram, but on am3 I think an overclocked 8350 is the best you can do.
