Hi everyone 

im having  a hard time trying to figure out what to do next 

 

i can either :

 

upgrade my CPU from Phenomx4 ii 965 to the 8150 + a 990fx mobo and get another 660 later on 

 

or get 2x HD7870's and get the CPU later 

 

see my dilemma , i dont really wanna rip my mobo out and basically start from scratch but on the other hand it will be cheaper to do it that way 

 

any Suggestions ??

 

My Pc Specs

CPU : AMD FX-8350 @stock w/Noctua NH D-14   Mobo: Asus M5A99FX    Ram : 16gb Corsair XMS3 @1600mhz    GPU : Gigabyte GTX970 Windforce OC 4GB @1429mhz   SSD: Sandisk X110 256gb    Case: Be Quiet Silent Base 800 Windowed  PSU: EVGA 850w g2  Peripherals : Corsair K70 w/Red Switches , Logitech G502 , Samsung SyncMaster S22B300 (1920x1080) , Ttesports Shock one headset , Phone : HTC one A9

can you get a 8350 or 8320?

1st one is better

don't recommend crossfire right now.
