Upgrade FX 8120 & GTX 560?

[arun_8]

I have had this build since 2012 and it's been working great since, I still manage to get about 40-55 FPS on Battlefield 4 Ultra (100+ on medium) which is perfectly fine with me. Both the GTX 560 and FX 8120 are on its stock clocks and I wanted to know if it would be worth upgrading either or at the moment. I have a $200 budget in total as well, so I can only upgrade one of my parts. I've also played the Star Wars Battlefront beta as well and I was able to pull about 80 FPS on medium settings.

Also I have 16GB of RAM and a 1TB HDD, as well as a 650W PSU, so no upgrades needed there? Any suggestions?

I guess I would go with the card, after the 8120 I would just go invest in a intel build and not do a reinvest back in to the past with AM3+
so a card to me seems a more viable option

Any suggestions as to which gfx card I should get? I was thinking about the GTX 960, but I don't know yet

don't know ?? you would think but all you can do is review benchmark reviews of the cards and see then hope there correct and not blowing hype and it does as you expected in your rig ??

these guys claim its better [and you have the non ti ]

you just need to do your own homework on this and draw your own conclusion ??

maybe hard to find a review with the old 560 in it but I guess the 660 is a better card and in the results listings ??

If I was you, I would get an r9 380. It has a high amount of vram, more powerful than the 960 and looks good. If you do get a nvidia gpu, the 970 is the best one you can get.

that amd line of cards maybe something to look at as well ???

what windows will you be using you don't want AMD if your using vista or xp and with xp any NVidia card over the 960 is not supported I believe ?
