I have £300 for upgrades, what upgrade?

[Callum Llewellyn]

My current set up is:
AMD 8320 eight core piledriver
gigabyte lmt 87 usb 3.0
corsair crucial saver 16gb 1337MHZ RAM
corsair carbide 200r
2 tb HDD 7200 RPM
120GB Samsung 840 SSD
Nvidia geforce 770 asus direct cu11 2gb oc edition
corsair cx600 PSU
Black widow ultimate mechanical keyboard
Cheap ebay mouse (still good)
I was thinking of getting an pz87 mobo and an Intel core i5 4670k, is that a good upgrade, or is there something else I should upgrade?
Thanks

I would say no in getting the I5 because there is absolutely no diffrence between them in terms of gaming performance as the i5 MIGHT get a 1-2 fps more than the fx in a few games. so that would be quite a waste.

Now for other upgrades do you overclock or want to in the future?
What kind of games do you play i know many good gaming mouses for paticular games genre's.
Are you open to doing SLI down the road if so i'd say get a Corsair 750w *) PLUS bronze PSU and when you save enough for another 770, you could double your performance, which sound like the best way to spend your money for your beast of a rig! 😀
Hope i helped -CJ

Best option is to get another nvidia 770 and SLi them both, provided your 870 series motherboard has two PCIe slots

Honestly, there isn't much to upgrade at all. What is the issue with your system as it stands? An FX8320 and GTX770 should have no issues running any games on the market really (assuming that's what this is for).

Hello, thank you for your comment, I am open to setting up an sli system, however my motherboard does not support sli, other wise I would. I play most games and I do not feel that I need a different mouse currently.
Thanks Callum

I would day just get a good AM3+ motherboard, and since you said you might be open to SLI in the future i would grab a this as it can support another GTX 770 in the future.
