What part should I upgrade to improve gaming in this build?

[Daniel Connaughton]

I'm getting a gaming PC for Christmas and this is the base build
CPU: AMD FX6300
GPU: Sapphire R9 270X Dual-X
PSU: Corsair CX600
RAM: 8GB HyperX FURY 1866ghz
MOBO: Asus M5A78L-M
HDD: 1TB WD Caviar Blue

I can change this build and pay roughly £100 more, so what parts should I upgrade? GPU, CPU or both? Any feedback would be helpful. 😀 All parts being ordered from Amazon.co.uk.

i'd say the AMD FX6300 go for the FX8350 Piledriver not that much more money.

I would get a 280X for the biggest performance increase. And A fx 8320 or even a i5 build would be nice, but the fx 6300 will do if you cant afford it. Get the gpu first and if u can afford to get a better cpu do it if not stick with the 6300.

So would you recommend a better AMD or an Intel?

I don't but it is not included in the price.

Get a GTX 760/770 or an R9 280X.
