My current set up is CPU: amd-fx 9370 Mobo: Gigabyte 970A-DS3P GPU: MSI R7 260X PSU: 600W Bronze rated I am looking to upgrade to increase my frame rate while gaming. Would it be better to get a second R7 260x, a better PSU, and a better motherboard. Or, should I get a single better GPU as...

will this psu work with the fx 9370? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182188

So i was pretty much handed this computer without being able to pick the parts, anyway i'm looking to upgrade it and was wondering what to upgrade and what to upgrade it to. or would i be better off just building an entire new system. My specs are as follows: PSU: 500w (not sure exact spec)...

sorry for the late response, what would your budget be for a graphics card. there's a whole range of possibilities but i could give you a good idea if i knew your price range

I would suggest the i5 4670k just to future proof your CPU so you don't have to upgrade it in the near future, and its not too much more than you were planning on spemding http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116899 I would also recommend getting a better graphics card, with...

Post your specs, but you might just have to reinstall your OS

Personally I would go with the 290 over the 780 but that's just me. It depends on the current price difference. The 290 slightly edges in front of the 780 as far as performance and I would be willing to pay 20 or 30 more dollars for that.

So about how long till I start seeing issues

Would it fry right away? Of not how long running that combination would it take to start having issues

Will this combination of CPU and motherboard end up frying my motherboard or should I be fine?

can i run that with a 500w psu?

currently i have the R7 260x and am looking to upgrade, max budget is 250. i play games like world of warcraft which i know isnt very gpu dependant but games like battlefield as well. i was looking at the 7870, but if theres a better card for the money any suggestions would be appreciated.

my current rig is CPU: fx 9370 GPU: AMD R7 260x Mobo: Gigabyte 970A PSU: EVGA Bronze 500w Ram: 8gb (brand unkown) i want to upgrade my gpu to the 7870 and was wondering if my power supply will handle everything without a problem.

I wasn't planing on over clocking it, hell if anything I looked into under clocking it so reduce heat and voltage so I didn't fry the motherboard, that thing will melt the sun when it heats up. But thanks for the quick reply, I'll leave it for the time being and if it all works then I won't...

This computer was a gift so I did not get to build it the way I wanted to. Anyway, will that CPU/Motherboard combination create any problems in the future?
