Have got a kf2a gtx 660 in my friends bitfenix prodigy build with a a10 5800k, im looking at replacing the 660 with either a 750ti or a 950/960 what would you recommend and is it worth it instead of upgrading the CPU with GPU wholesale??

Thanks in advance

AMD APUs has never been a good prospect on PC gaming... It would run slower compared to say, an i3-6100, but it's going to be fine, it won't bottleneck.

Of course, it's OK to upgrade to a 950, there's nothing wrong with that. But, the thing is, it's not going to be that much of an upgrade, the 660 is already pretty fast. An upgrade to a Skylake system, even to a Pentium, seems like a good one. This will let you upgrade later. I can stay with the 660 for a while with that Pentium combo, and upgrade the Processor and GPU later.

I meant upgrading the CPU and GPU iv read that there might b bottleneck if I just upgrade the card, could u recommended a card got a budget of up to £150, he mainly wants it to play fallout 4 he plays arma 3 a lot now and the 660 seems fine on medium settings give roughly 50-60fps but anything above and it drops to 20
