Upgrade HD5770 or i3 550

[Bardockzen]

Greetings,

I'm in a situation where I can upgrade either my graphics card:

Asus Radeon HD5770 1Gb DDR5

or my CPU:

Intel core i3 - 550 3.2ghz 4M

My main concern is graphics and getting the best gaming experience. So, any suggestions as to which one I should upgrade?

For my upgrade I was either looking for something under or at $200. Something like the Radeon 7780 or an i5.

Thanks for any suggestions and general information!

I suggest you to upgrade the CPU first, the GPU is still fine unless you want some serious Ultra X16 1080P gaming at 60 FPS.

In any case upgrading your GPU to a 7770-7790 won't help by much considering your actual GPU, You should rather save for a 7850 if you can.
