It's up to you and what you want to use it for. If you plan on using this for gaming then upgrading the GPU would have the most noticeable performance difference. Otherwise, go with the CPU.

I've spent the past few hours trying to resolve this myself with no luck, so if the Windows gods of Toms Hardware could help me out I'd appreciate it. I came back from work to discover that my PC which I had left locked had a BSOD displaying the error code CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. I restarted it...

Where are you looking that it isn't detecting the GPU?

Did you uninstall the previous drivers?

Restart your modem/router. If that doesn't work see if you are able to connect to other wifi signals.

Do you know the wattage of your PSU?

Can you provide some more information?

Bumping to help a friend out.

It does touch the mobo however I realized I can just unscrew the backplate completely. Is there any disadvantage to having it removed?

So my two Sapphire 280x's got here today and when I go to install them to the mobo the metal backplate where the VGA/HDMI/DVI plugs are on the gpu goes so far down that it touches the edges of the mobo. I can't move it at all so it won't do it so i'm wondering what I should do. Thanks in advance...

I never liked Windows 8 to begin with.
