So, as you know, good games are coming out this year( BF4 mainly, lol). Anyways, i was checking can you run it web page about games and i tested Crysis 3 and that made it over recommended but not over fast, so i think i'm going to need to upgrade a little of my PC.
I'm using i7-2600K 3.70 GHz.
For Graphics Card i have AMD Radeon HD series 6900 (Is it capable of running BF4 or would i have to upgrade that too?)
I have 8GB of Ram on my PC.
So i hope these things help you folks decide what's best as these are the most needed components for gaming.
If you could then please list of better components for the ones i have right now.
Soz if i seem like a dummy but i'm not the smartest in PC's.
Also note that i got this PC in late 2011....
-don't take my advice ever-

i'm a very cheap person
i'm still using a 460 with one of the fan blades ripped off
edit: holy fuck, i didn't even know the 6900 existed, i was thinking of the old non HD radeon gpu's that's why i recommended a 560
Can I borrow this thread? I don't want to create a new one with the exact same title and question, clogging it all up.
i5-2310 2.90GHz
10 GB ram
GTX 550 Ti
Win7 64bit
What should I upgrade first, and to what?

550 Ti is a pretty sub par card for gaming, go for a gtx 760 or hd 7870 (760 is newer)

^ same goes for op
I checked my Power Supply and its max power is 460W. Is it enough to run a gtx 760 with my other components?
You can use this thread, but don't take all the credit :D.
Anyways, listing some little more powerful components would help alot :)
the 6900 series wouldn't have problems running bf4, but you won't play it on the highest settings. Get a gtx 760 or a radeon 7950.
the CPU is good, it would be a waste of money buying a new cpu instead of a new gpu. the 2600k won't even bottleneck a 780.
if you want to look for a gpu yourself, check this list: [url]http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html[/url]
Get the best one for your money.

Depends on brand

How much better is gtx 760? I Need a card that will last for more than a year or two.
The 6950 is pretty solid. In fact, I think* your whole PC would be able to run BF4 on high (not max) without any upgrade.
(BF4)The recommended PC system requirements for optimal visual quality and frame rates:
Quad core CPU (Intel Core i5 or i7) at 3 Ghz
4 GB memory (8 GB for 64-bit operating systems)
A modern DX11 graphics card with 1 GB of video memory, GeForce 600 series or Radeon 7000 series
Windows 7 64-bit operating system (Windows 8 is supported as well)
20+ GB of free harddrive space
*I dont now the real life system req of BF4 and they might turn out higher than usual due to the new consoles coming soon.
I'll think about a new graphics card. Might update it in December....
