This year I built my first gaming PC on a budget and I have been very excited with the results. However, with the next gen consoles coming out I think I can start considering my next upgrades. I am willing to upgrade my graphics card and processor to get the best performance from my build, but I am looking to stay around 250 or less for those things individually. Here is my build- http://pcpartpicker.com/user/cadco25/saved/1tyS

That list doesn't include my video card which is an AMD 7770. I know the i7 is the best processor, but is the i5 okay? And I really have no idea where to go with my video card.

An i5 is the best option for gaming, since games don't and won't utilize i7's hyperthreading.
The i5-3470 is a good option for you.

For the gpu, the best gpu in the $250 range is the GTX 760, for now.

Okay, so for immediate improvement, what is the best thing to upgrade now?
