Hoping to get some opinions/recommendations based on my current hardware setup. I've done some research, but I would like to get some feedback on my specific hardware components, and whether anything else should be upgraded.
Currently I have a Radeon HD 7770 GPU (SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card) and I'm looking to upgrade. As far as price goes, I wouldn't want to go over $500. That being said, I'd also like to take advantage of my current set up as much as I can. I'm also not a stickler for graphics (I don't need the best of the best), just want the latest games (i.e. Gears of War 4 or Doom) to run smoothly and look decent.
Here's the other pertinent hardware info (currently running Windows 7):
Motherboard ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
CPU http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286
Memory 16 GB (2x8) DDR3 (Model F3-1600C11D-16GNT)
Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817154026
Thanks in advance for constructive replies!
