So I currently have a R9 270x together with the FX 6300 and i'm looking to upgrade. What I was thinking is that I upgrade my GPU to a RX 480 and wait for the Ryzen comes out. Is it worth buying the rx 480 or should I stay put until the Ryzen is released?
 
Solution
The GPU would probably have a lot larger impact on your performance than the CPU upgrade. Go for the GPU, and upgrade the CPU when you can later.

If you can wait until about mid-may when Vega Drops. If it's good, other aMD GPU prices should drop, and you might be able to snatch a 480 or maybe a vega.
