Hello! I am looking to either upgrade my CPU from a FX 6100 to a FX 6350 BLACK EDITION. (Btw i have win 7 64 bit and 8GB ram) Or buy a gtx 770 and go from a CORSAIR CX 500W PSU to a Corsair TX 650W Since the gtx 770 takes way more power than my current xfx 7850 2GB. What should I upgrade? I've been experiencing FPS drops in some games but my 7850 can handle most games. My rig is about one year old. Can spend at most 610 USD. (I live in Sweden)
Thankful for a reply. PS: i mostly use my rig for gaming
 
I think there's no need to replace the CPU, will not gain much, so stick to it. Upgrading the GPU and PSU is a good idea.

TX 650 is a decent PSU, and GTX 770 is a high-end card. So you will benefit from both.

Radeon HD 7850 - requires 21A and a 500W PSU minimum

GeForce GTX 770 - requires 42A and a 600W PSU minimum
 
GTX 770 is 75% faster than HD 7850
FX 6350 has 26 % better single core result than FX 6100 . Pass Mark
i5 4670 has 83% better single core result than FX 6100 , Pass Mark

Within the budget of $610
GTX 770 -$340
Corair TX 650W
FX 6350
out of the budget
cpu i5 4670
mobo Asus H87 Plus
gpu GTX 770
psu Corsair TX 650W

 
I'd say keep the CPU, get the 770 and the 650W suply, that should give you a siggnificant boost for the price!

Or go for whitecat's New rig suggestion that will cost a little more.
Hope this helps
