I'm looking to upgrade my gfx card and or cpu / motherboard.
I've been out of the hardware loop for quite some time so I am uneducated as to what the current lineup of decent performing cards are etc in comparison to my current build which is the following:
cpu: AMD Phenom II X4 955
mobo: M4A87TD EVO
RAM: 12 GB DDR3 ( 3 stick of 4096Mb )
GFX Card: AMD Radeon HD 6870
Would sticking with the same CPU but changing gfx card give me a noticeable performance increase when it comes to maxing out gfx in games or will my cpu act as a bottleneck?
I'm looking to spend around 600 max preferably less if possible.
I'm not sure if i should keep the gfx card and change cpu/mobo.... or just change the gfx card and keep the cpu/mobo
thanks for any suggestions and help.
