Need help upgrading pleeeease

[animalmother08]

i recently just got my first gaming pc but i am already ready to upgrade. i am thinking i just need to upgrade my cpu and graphics cards. My current specs are:

amd fx 6100 six core 3.30 ghz
10 gigs ram
gtx 550 ti 2gb
1.5 TB hard drive

any input on better cpu's and a better gpu would be greatly appreciated. thanks

wouldn't worry about the cpu. got 6 cores........ no upgrade can beat that unless you do a ground up........... in 2-3 years or whatever.

the gpu isn't great........ what is your monitor and resolution and what software ( specifically ) do you run ?

its an old ass view sonic monitor lol i know i need a new one. what do u mean by software im running im not good with pcs so bear with me.


its 1280 by 1024. and i mainly just use it for gaming. modernwarfare 3, skyrim, diablo 3, crysis... but it seems to run skyrim on high settings flawlessly but i keep hearing the card is crappy and i hear the cpu isnt very good but i figuerd it was since it was a six core

games/ applications, etc. ( software )............. look in the device manager for the monitor...............

google it
