Hello, I'm upgrading my PC Very soon and i have 3 choices of upgrading .These are my PC Specs Cpu : Core 2 Due e7500. / MB : G41-combo gigabyte. and
Vga card : Sapphire vapor X 7770 (450 Watt needed) . PSU : 525 Watt cooler master.
My budget is 250-300 $ Max. So my first choice is to upgrade CPU and mother board to Core i5-3570k / ASRock z77 Pro3 . Or i can upgrade to
AMD FX-8350 / ASRock 970 Extreme4.

The Third choice is to buy FX-6100 /ASRock 970 Extreme4 + another Vapor X 7770 /7790 and crossfire it with the 7770 i had .
My aim is that i can play games like crysis 3 on high for next 2-4 years. Which of these choices will last longer and does my PSU support the crossfire ? And if the third choice is the best , does FX-6100 perform well in normal computing like small video editing or compressing ?
And if you got any suggestions please say them, thank.

I like the Intel choice. My preference is Intel, but thats up to you.
