Video or CPU upgrade?

How about rather then upgrading grab a 2nd 650 TI? would that be more worth it. $100 rather then $200-$300 for a new card? idk if i would get better GPU power out of it tho.

Not sure if SLing a low end card would do much.
And you have to make sure you have enough power for another one.

Ahh really? darn, i know a friend has another 650 TI for $100 could get it cheaper im sure. and thought SLI would made or worth the price rather then $200-$300. and true power would be a problem cause i only have a 600W or less power support.

Besides, the 650 Ti isn't even SLI compatible.

Xan has won, i didnt even check xD winning dude. what's a video card better then 650 TI that isnt going to break my bank? $100-$200ish

The 560 Ti is rather nice with an approximately 35% increase in performance over the 650 Ti, and only costs $139.99.
@Xanthochroid is my alt by the way.

$140 isnt bad at all for the 560TI and i can throw my 650TI into my Gf's computer lawl

with your current specs it will be no problem for bf4
you might think for gta v

not a Gta fan really, i just wanna be able to run Bf4 without any problems on large maps. id like to switch to intel but would cost aton for the CPU and MB. im a cheap ass and i got shit to pay for so i cant go spend that much

Videocard first, CPU doesn't really affect the performance all that much. I recommend something like a 7970, they'll probably drop in price soon as the HD8000 line will be released.

Obviously you can also get a card from the 8000-series that's soon to be released. Just don't get a GTX-700 series, wait and see how the HD8000 series will stomp it.

If you want to upgrade,it's better to upgrade GPU first. Your CPU is powerfull enough. I think GTX660 Ti or Radeon 7950 is enough to play BF4 + COD Ghost in Full HD resolution with ultra setting

i would get the 7970

If your main goal is being able to play BF4 and COD ghosts, then I recommend you holding back on the extra 8GB of ram. That's not needed unless you are 100%, and I mean ONE HUNDRED PERCENT sure that you will be editing OFTEN. If you aren't editing constantly, You could safe the extra $60-$100 and sell either your CPU or GPU and upgrade one of those instead.
