Hi guys my current specs:

CPU - AMD 7750 KUMA 2.7 GHZ OC to 3.2 GHZ
GPU - Sapphire 4830 512MB
RAM - 4 GB DDR2 Patriot Viper 4-4-4-12 800MHZ 2.2 volts
HDD - WD 640 GB Black
MOBO - ASRock A780 GMH

Which is a better upgrade choice:

Keep the 4830 Video card and buy Intel I7 920 CPU, X58 mobo and DDR3 mem

or

Just buy a Radeon 5850 GPU keeping else the same?

Which would be faster among the two?
