What PC components should I upgrade?

[chipdude375]

Hi there,

I would really prefer to play games at high or the highest settings with a consistent average of 60fps, and was wondering what exactly I may need to upgrade. At the moment I'm averaging around 30 - 50 fps roughly, on high settings in most games. My specs are:

Motherboard: GA-78 LMT-USB 3
Processor: AMD FX-6300
Graphics Card: MSI R9 280X
RAM: 8GB
PSU: 850W Point Power Supply Unit
Operating System: Windows 7 64bit OS

Any help would be appreciated,

I you have the money then you cant go wrong with getting an i5 and a better graphics card. I dont really favor Intel or Amd , but they both are good. I actually own a AMD A10-7870k. If you dont want to spend much then the graphics card. Maybe the MSI R9 290 or a GTX 980/970
Of you actually going to be upgrading the CPU then you mid as well build a new pc lol because you'd have to get a new board as well

Most imediate is the CPU and consequently the Motherboard...Adding another 8Gb of memory wont hurt either...everything else is ok for now...
