I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and my Graphics card so they can run the latest games more specifically GTA 5, the problem is my motherboard isn't the best and I want to know what I can get to for under $500 without buying a new motherboard. My specs are:
Mobo: 960GM-GS3 FX
CPU: AMD FX 4100
Graphics card: AMD HD 7700
PSU: 650w
I've been looking at the AMD FX 8320 as a CPU and for the GPU I was looking at either something like the 970 or r9 290.
Any advice and assistance would be greatly appreciated.
