I have a question for you guys but first let me tell you about my setup so you can get a clearer idea of a possible answer:
CPU: i7-3770K@4.2GHz (Green/gaming hybrid mode on MOBO)
MOBO: ASUS P8Z77-M UEFI BIOS
GPU: Gigabyte 7950 3GB
PSU: Corsair ATX 650W
RAM Corsair Vengeance 8-8-8-11 (8GB)
HDD: Barracuda 7200RPM
Ok, my question is that i play games, and do some rendering here and there, mostly for fun. I had this setup minus the mobo and cpu which was a Phenom II x6 1055T and an ASRock N68 VS3 (If i recall) and they seem to have run my games almost better than my current setup. I upgraded to intel, because though AMD will run a game just as good as intel, im an eye candy guy and intel loads the fine details with less stutter (In my experience).
So that said, should i get an SSD for around $200 or should i contemplate upgrading my GPU? I think from my experience that my current GPU is actually be ever so slightly bottle-necked though i run it at 1080P most of the time (Except bf3 and other MMORPGs ect..) If i am going to get a better GPU i want it to be Nvidia, because they have features i have very much enjoyed in the past on friends machines. Thanks in advance for an answer!
