Hi , i'm trying to figure out which computer parts i should upgrade too get the most performence out of my money, and i figured you guys might be able to help me out?

My current system :
Case : Iw-win MANA white (atx) medium
dvd writer :Asus dvd writer 241FST
Powersupply :Cooler master G650M
Motherboard:Gigabite 9070A-UD3 (rev 1.0)
Ram : Corsair vengance 4Gx2 DDR3 Dual (1600MHz, 9-9-9-24, 1.5V)
processor : AMD FX 6100.
Graphics card: AMD R9 270X
Hard Drive1 : SSD 120 Gig (sandisk "extreme" baught at a store a almost 2 years ago)
Hard Drive 2 : SSDHD 1 TB.

So i've been slowly building this computer over a year now, and right now its good for 1080P at medium/high settings for games.

So my current toughts is too Get a annother R9 270x and crossfire, but my current motherboard doesen't support it , so i was thinking of getting a new motherboard with the right tools, And with that a new CPU . eighter amd or intel. maybe upgrading the RAM aswell. so thats my plan.
Anyways.. what do you guys think would be the best to upgrade at this point? (at an reasonable price)
(using this computer for gaming only)
Really appirciate you're feedback on this!

cheers

The best upgrade for you, since it sounds like you want the system for gaming, is to upgrade the motherboard/processor. An Intel Core i5 processor is pretty much the sweet spot for gaming. The memory upgrade isn't really necessary for gaming, 8GB at 1600MHz is not bad at all for gaming. I would focus first on a motherboard and processor. The new Core i5 4690 processor sits around $240 and a motherboard can be gotten for around $160 (Thinking specifically of an MSI z97-Gaming 3 motherboard, I was just looking at one earlier today)
