So I have £300 save up I was wondering what to upgrade next.

My Specs Are

Intel G3420
8GB Ram
Corsair CX500M
250GB Hard Drive
320gb Hard Drive


I was thinking of just buying a GTX 970 and using that to game and then upgrade the cpu when boardwell comes out and after that the psu maybe.

I agree with cdrkf. Get the GPU now, and CPU/mobo next time. If your current motherboard supports 6gb/s SATA, you would get a very noticable upgrade by getting an SSD reserved for either windows or games. The PSU will last, but don't overclock with it, it isn't trustworthy enough for that.


Yeah adding a decent GPU to your system will be the biggest upgrade. That CPU might hold you back in *some* games but should be ok for most. The 970 is quite low power so should be fine on that PSU when running at stock settings, but be careful of overclocking.
 


That what I was think I dont really have a big Steam Library like 10 games and I need no need of over cloaking as I tested a 750ti and has around 50fps on games such as tomb raider and Grid 2
