What to upgrade ?

[allumen]

Hey ! So it is my current system :

AMD Phenom x6 1100T ( 212+evo cooling )
Nvidia GeForce GTX 560TI
4 GB DDR3 RAM @ 1333 mhz
2 TB of HDD

I was thinking about a AMD R9 280X and 4 gb of extra ram , but what do you suggest ?

thr 280x will be a great upgrade, but it may cause your CPU to be a bottleneck in CPU intensive games.

Is the Phenom x6 1100T really that outdated ? 🙁

I mean, it is 4 years old. It will be fine for gaming, but in games like BF4 it will be a slowdown.

Okay . But which one do you suggest to upgrade first ? The proccessor or the gpu ?

 

[tiny voices]

The GPU will give a MUCH more drastic improvement in gaming performance. I would do the GPU first.

Okay and after i upgrade my GPU would you suggest an FX 6300 or an FX 8350 . Or rather wait for a new line of proccessors ?
