Need Help upgrading.

[Rai Shin]

Yow, I need some advice in upgrading my pc.
Currently my specs is :
Processor: AMD A4-5300
Ram: 4gb
VGA: Ati radeon 5600/5700
Motherboard: GigaByte GA-F2A88XM-HD3 (socket fm2+)

I just wanna ask what is the best upgrade I can have without upgrading my motherboard . BTW, I would like to play upcoming video games of 2014 like watch dogs etc. Thanks in advance everyone

i think the new a10-7850 kavari APUs are the best (steamroller).

and APU's will see biggest improvement from FAST RAM/memory. 2133 Mhz preferred.

As well as mantle if it takes off.

Thanks for the help everyone. I think I'll go for the amd a10-7850 for the processor. How about the GPU? Can you recommend me some budget gpu ?

Rai. The A6, A10, and A10 processors from AMD are actually APU's, they have the CPU + GPU built in (thats the 5300 in A10-5300). If you want to buy another GPU, then why get an APU in the first place if you are not going to use its built in GPU? waste of money and its a weaker processor relative to what you can have.

Here is what i recommend, you can use the same motherboard no problems.

pair this with a GTX 750ti or 660ti and you will see big gains in frames and quality. its also the "k" version so you can overclock it in the future for even more performance when its needed (you will have to buy a better CPU cooler to overclock though, and the PSU will determine what we can really handle)

Sorry noob here. Now that's definitely a better choice since it's cheaper . And yeah, I am not going to use the built-in gpu anyways. So I'll go with that upgrade. Thanks again! sir.
