Upgrade confusion I have a MSI M78e-35 and am confused on upgrade options.

Would buying a New video card and A10 8750 be a good Ideal ? will I see a good increase in performance in fallout 4 ?

Depends on what you have currently. What GPU and CPU do you have? Also, what PSU?
All of these factor in when looking at upgrading.

A 10- 5800k cpu and a NVidia gtx750ti.

 

[BadAsAl]

Your current processor scored 4631 on passmark.com and the A10 scored 5510. So just based on that, it looks like maybe 15% increase in performance.
The 750ti scored 3693.

You can definitely get a healthy bump by going to a GTX 1060 (scores above 8000) or higher GPU but upgrading the processor in my opinion is not worth it.

Thanks that helped a lot ! I guess I have to go AM3+ to see a real huge difference.

You shouldnt be buying an AMD processor at this point. Any processor on the FM2+ platform would not perform well enough for a quality experience on Fo4.
AM3+ processors are not worth the money, let alone the motherboard change as well.

Make the switch to an intel platform, along with a newer GPU if you want to run Fo4.

I ordered A gtx 1060 ! I couldn't afford to go with Intel cost too much. I went FX 6350 and upgraded the memory to ddr3 2133. I can upgrade further later.

What motherboard did you buy

 

[Bludwed]

Oh, full setup will be.

AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5 GHz (4.1 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W in a MSI 970 AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 and SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard.

With 8gb G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series DDR3 2133mhz
And
MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti DirectX 12 GTX 1050 Ti 4G OC 4GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card.

I will just use My hd and dvd drive and upgrade as I can later.
