Should I get another GPU or a new CPU?

WinterBlue · 27 Jun 2014

I have a $180 to spend on an upgrade. I am thinking about either upgrading my FX-6300 to a FX-8350 OR get another HD 7870 and run crossfire with my current 7870 card.

Which would be better or do you have a better idea?

Thanks!

What`s the purpose of the upgrade ?

Are you having any specific issues ?

I`d spend it on an SSD

To achieve higher performance in games.

Then I`d go with another card.

The performance increase between an FX-6300 and an FX-8350 in gaming would be negligible at best.

Or should I be asking if the second card would make much difference?

A 2nd card will always help with gaming.

main question is do you have a powerful enough psu to handle 2 cards?
