$300 upgrade for my rig
Last response: in Systems
Hey guys i wanted some help with a little uprgading. My current rig should be down there in my sig vvvvv ![:D]( ":D")
. So my question is what can i upgrade that will have the most impact on gaming with $300? I was thinking replacing the 460 with a 7850 would that be the best bang for my buck or is there better options?

I'm in the same boat with my gtx 460, the 7850 is a nice upgrade but I haven't found my 460 in need of more unless you play many shooters ( I stick to rpgs). Also if you do play shooters a nice 120hz monitor wouldn't be a bad choice, but then again you would probably need the gpu upgrade (double edged sword).
I am patiently waiting for the 660ti if not then the next gen of either ati or nvidia.
Need a new case (get some great airflow in your system)? Or maybe an SSD?

The 7850 is the best 250 dollar upgrade with the other 50 i would get a 60 gb ssd for your osThanls for the response the 7850 seems to be the best way to go now since theres no gtx 660 yet. could i get a ssd for $50? last i saw they where more in the $100s for a 32gb but i have not looked in a while....

Haha ya i play lots of shooters games like AVP and metro 2033 will drop me to 20-25 fps and i already use a 120hz HD TV. Im good on the case and maybe a ssd not sure if that would really increase my gaming abilties......
