Gpu or CPU upgrade direction

If you get a better GPU the increase for gaming will be far more substantial then if you get a better cpu.

At least with that CPU, anyway. Although a CPU upgrade would help as well.

Something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... Radeon

Or like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... Nivida

Or this for exactly 200: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... (not counting shipping)

There are other 7850's that are in the $170 range as well

Changing procs is an option. So the better bang is

G620/8gb/some $200 graphics

Rather than
i5/8gb/sapphire 1gb ddr5?

ddr5 doesn't exists it's GDDR5 btw

But yeah, I think for For the game you are talking about better graphics card would be the most substantial gain.

Of course both is best.. i5 will make a difference too I'm sure, just not as much.

That card you currently have is the one you crossfire with the Trinity APU A-10 series. It's about as good as the graphics the A-10 APU has as well. Newer more powerful graphics cards will do better.

I'm working with a microATX so unfortunately in my case SLI isn't an option.

Also unfortunately my AMD machine is older and it's an AM2   so I couldn't SLI _that_ on either...

looks like a new graphics card is sounding better and better.

AMD's version is Crossfire, btw. Is your micro to small for crossfire(with another 6670)?

No, I only have 1 pcie alot to deal with, three slots total and of course the card is double tall.

I just ended up replacing my HD 6770 with a gtx560.

Thanks for the input-
