Looking to upgrade my computer for better gaming & editing!

[Alex Guenov]

Here are my current specs:

I am looking to upgrade my graphics card and currently, my only option is NCIX.com
I am thinking of buying this card:

or this card:

I also might want to buy a new CPU (hopefully an Intel i7 (which one would you suggest?) but I am wondering if I'll also have to change my motherboard to do that.

Please suggest things that I should change to be able to game better and edit with AFTER EFFECTS better.

You could get a bulldozer 8 core, and up the ram to 16gb. The gtx 670 OC is better,go with that.
Yes,for a core i7 you'd need a new motherboard.

worth it?

Spend the extra on a gtx 670. Well worth it. Doesn't have to be OC.

There you have it. With the other parts you should be sorted. Happy photoshopping.
