right guys I need a no bs assessment of the following options for my upgrade.
I currently have this
CPU: AMD FX-8120
CPU cooler: stock
Mobo: Asus M599X EVO
RAM: 2 x 4Gb Corsair Vengeance ddr3
GPU: PNY Geforce GTX670 2gb
PSU: Corsair tx850
Case: Corsair Carbide white
Monitor: JVC 32" LED tv
Mouse: Logitech G400
Keyboard: Logitech g510
Headset: Logitech g35
Speakers: Logitech X530
OS: Win 7 64bit
current things I am looking at upgrading:
SSD, CPU or GPU
the 670 rocks everything except bf4 but that's another story.
my main hdd is a 120gb 7200rpm job so a ssd is looking a mighty fine prospect especially with the prices being down a lot from what they were.
the gpu side I am looking at going for 2 R9 270x's for crossfire but that's mainly due to ONLY bf4 being a bitch about things. so justifying it seems silly.
then lastly I am looking at getting a FX8320, but I don't see a difference between it and the 8120 except the fact that it uses the new pile driver architecture.
so. no holds barred okes.
let me know which will be the better option because getting all of it is unfortunately not an option
