In wake of ARMA 3 and the declining performance of my PC I'm looking to do some upgrading. I normally play the newest games/source games. Right now I'm looking at like 60 FPS in L4D2 maxed while ~30 FPS maxed in DotA2. Most of the games coming out now I'm only able to run on Medium and lower.
Current:

Looking:
Better GPU
Anything else to better improve performance based off what I already own (but I'm winning to change things around if needed)
Budget ~$400
ArmA 3 is going to be much, much more optimized than ArmA 2. Maybe try the alpha first tomorrow and see how it goes?

That's not what I asked

Indirectly - yes... You asked for more performance fixes. Just get a GPU silly.. If you were to do any major adjustments it would be to upgrade to a 3570K
(oh and you should maybe upgrade to 8gb RAM)
RAM, a 120gb SSD, and a 7870.

Put your OS and stuff you use frequently that isn't too write heavy on the SSD and it also speeds up games by a ton.
Thanks, but some questions.
Would my CPU be bottlenecked or fine? How easily do SSD's get fragmented (I move/transfer files frequently)

As long as you have TRIM (Windows 7 & 8 - Linux (If you have ext4)) it shouldn't be that big of a issue.
Also, your cpu will bottleneck a bit. AMD's odd scheme with their CPU's I fail to achknowledge...
There won't be a bottleneck, but if there is it wil be hardly noticeable.

files do get fragmented in SSD's but defragmenting is sort of useless since access times on an SSD are almost instant, and there's practically no seek time either, that's the advantage of SSD over mechanical drivers
The parts have arrived, thanks y'all
