I'm having alot of trouble figuring out how to most efficiently upgrade my gaming pc but the fact of the matter is it's starting to get near impossible to play any of the new games and enjoy them due to barely if even being able to run them. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
These are my current specs.
Intel Core i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz Quad Core.
8GB DD3 Ram.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 1GB.
Windows 7 64bit.

For like 160 I could get the same card but with twice the memory size.. would that be worth it? Granted I live in Denmark so the prices are a little different. Or atleast it appears that way.Unless you are gaming at higher resolutions than 1080p or are gaming across 3 monitors, the extra 2GB is worthless.

The most I'd be able to afford within a reasonable amount of time would be about 200 pounds.. My powersupply is 650W if that helps..
If I were you I would buy an R9 270x for about £130 (check partpicker here: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-112...) which is a good card and will get you gaming again then save the rest of your money and put that towards a future cpu/mobo upgrade.

I will buy the card that was recommended and likely get back to you when there's money for the other upgrade suggested.
